Zitat des Tages von Deb Caletti:
One of the most constant and sustaining truths of my life has been this: I love the library.
I would eat fruitcake if there'd been a nuclear war and I'd run out of canned goods.
All of my books come from something that I happen to be working out at a given point in my life. It's kind of self-therapy.
You never know how - or when - the idea for a book will appear.
Writers are troubled about finding time to write and writer's block and publicizing books that aren't books yet. They agonize over how to write and what to write and what not to write.
It's human nature to want to help and soothe and save with your love, but it's also arrogant.
'The Nature of Jade' is about a girl who works with the elephants at the zoo near her home, and who, through her involvement with them, becomes involved with a boy and his baby.
I became a writer because I love books, and I believe in their power.
Often, marriage was solitude, with company.
When you go looking for rescue, you end up trapped in your own weakness.
I long for books; I am utterly greedy about them.
Becoming a YA author was actually a very lucky accident. When I wrote the 'Queen of Everything,' I thought it was a book for adults.
If you think about becoming a writer, that's just really one of the big dreams I had. It's really important to have those dreams and pursue your passions.
When I was a young mother at home with a two year old and a five year old, living on the Eastside in one of those neighborhoods where all the houses look the same, where all the cars look the same and the lawns look the same, I was writing in secret.
Although I love snow, it messes things up terribly around Seattle, with all of our hills. I worry about my loved ones driving.
Like all kids with divorced parents, I have an abundance of holidays.
All of us create our own versions of an event, of our lives, even, not because we're liars, necessarily, but because we can only see and understand the truth from our own viewpoint, and a shifting viewpoint at that.
