Zitat des Tages von Lisa Unger:
If I weren't a writer, I'd be a psychiatrist.
There's a village in my computer - friends, fans, readers, and colleagues. It's a populous, sometimes chaotic little burg always bustling with news, gossip, opinions and potential excitement.
Of course, like all organic processes, there is an ebb and a flow to writing. One does not exist without the other. The writer needs to be vigilant in protecting both, confident in the knowledge that the village will be there when we choose, finally, to open the door.
Publishing is a business of relationships. The relationships you make at one house can carry over to another.
I was always the observer, trying to understand what was going on. I was always the new kid. Writing became my safe place.
Truman Capote was a magical, beautiful writer.
I write for the same reason I read: to find out what's going to happen.
Everything is autobiographical, and nothing is autobiographical. That's fiction.
I love the village in my computer. There's little validation in the day-to-day life of a writer; sometimes we ache for a connection.
I've always had this in a kind of worst-case dark imagination. I want to know what the dark form in the window is. I want to know what the noise under the staircase is.
The worst violence we can do to each other often is psychological, especially in families. I dwell a lot on domestic danger. That's the backdrop of most of my novels - what kind of damage is done without ever lifting a finger.
