“I want my prose to be as clear as a pane of glass.” — Tracy Kidder Quote

I want my prose to be as clear as a pane of glass.

People say you can't teach writing, but I think that's nonsense.

If you had an essentially happy childhood, that tends to dwell with you.

Being a professional writer is not an easy way to make a living.

What interests me is trying to catch the reflection of the human being on the page. I'm interested in how ordinary people live their lives.

As difficult as it can be to have your private life plastered all over the press and on social media every day, I guess the one plus side is that it is like a looking glass for other women to look in and relate to.

I start my day with a glass of warm water.

I drink a glass of water and half a lemon as soon as I wake up. I heard that it's supposed to balance your body's pH. Not sure if that's true, but to be honest, it really helps with bloating.

I watched TV religiously when I was a kid, but nowadays - with the Internet - there's so many people writing about TV on the Internet, that everything's sort of under a magnifying glass.
