Zitat des Tages von Mary Kay Andrews:
I want characters I can live for in a setting that makes me feel like I'm there.
I always wanted to use my newspaper background in a novel.
We are writing fiction, but we are trying to create a world that's believable.
My ideal beach house has bookshelves full of paperbacks that can tolerate a little sand, a DVD library that includes some Disney classics for the little ones, board games, and jigsaw puzzles. At least one big flatscreen television is a must.
For a writer, capturing that elusive Christmas morning magic can be deeply problematic.
One of the things that attracts me to vintage and antique things is they have stories, and even if I don't know the stories, I make them up.
I had never thought about writing a novel. But I had two young kids, and I realized that if I could write a novel, I could work at home.
Slipcovers are great because they can be laundered after those all-too-frequent sippy cup and red wine incidents.
For years, I swore I couldn't work out because my own sweat gave me a rash.
I guess because I'm a washed-up journalist, I always do a lot of research.
Critics will tell you the 'meet cute' is a tired old writing cliche, but the thing is, cliche's work - because they ring true with the reader.
My characters are turned upside down and trying to reinvent themselves but don't need a white knight. They can save themselves in a crisis.
I want my fiction to seem real.
On my first trip to New York in the 1980s, the first place I wanted to visit was the Plaza Hotel, home to Kay Thompson's Eloise.
