The Truth Will Make You Odd.

What I Remember When I Started To Write Was How I Couldn't Wait To Get Up In The Morning To Get To My Characters.

I Loved To Read, And I Think Any Child Who Loves To Read Will Read Anything, Including The Back Of The Cereal Box, Which I Did Every Morning.

The Best Books Come From Someplace Deep Inside.... Become Emotionally Involved. If You Don't Care About Your Characters, Your Readers Won't Either.

Caitlyn Isn't Someone To Get Over. She's Someone To Come To Terms With, The Way You Have To Come To Terms With Your Parents, Your Siblings. You Can't Deny They Ever Happened. You Can't Deny You Ever Loved Them, Love Them Still, Even If Loving Them Causes You Pain.

With "margaret," I Remember Clearly It Was, You Know Because I Did Remember It Clearly. I Was Young. I Was Young In Terms Of Experience And What Did I Know About And I Had An Incredible Memory From My Own Childhood. And So It Never Occurred To Me To Write For Any Other Age Group. And I Thought I'm Going To Write A Book And I'm Going To Tell The Truth.
