Zitat des Tages von Rainbow Rowell:
As I moved to less and less diverse places in my life, I realized that white people don't talk about race amongst themselves!
I can't seem to help writing love stories. I definitely crave romance. When I was young, I craved romance in books, but I didn't want to read just romance - love plays such a big part in our lives, it shouldn't be cut out and restricted to its own fiction.
With fandom, people are sensitive, and sometimes defensive, about their experiences.
I'm not complaining about my cell phone - all my friends are in there, and all my favorite songs and all my favorite Benedict Cumberbatch GIFs; I don't want to give it up. But cell phones are the worst for talking on the phone.
Attraction is what happens between you. It's not universal. And it's not conventional. And thank God for that.
I'd never written a novel before, and I wrote a novel, and that turned out OK.
When you actually fall in love, no one sees that other person the way that you do.
With 'Attachments,' my goal was to write a really good romantic comedy. I wanted the reader to be smiling throughout.
I wrote all four of my books at Starbucks.
My favorite Starbucks is nice - Omaha Starbucks stores tend to be friendlier than big-city ones, and the baristas are especially lovely at mine - but it's still a Starbucks.
In my mind, every single female character I've written is plus-size.
Our cellphones can do everything, but they're bad at letting us talk to each other.
In 'Attachments,' which is told from a male point of view, people asked me if a man would really think that much about whether a woman likes him. But I have a husband and three brothers, and they're all like that.
When 'Attachments' came out and people liked it, I'd have a warm feeling of having made a connection.
When I watch a romantic comedy, I feel like they're selling something that doesn't exist. Two beautiful, but extremely unpleasant, people are terrible to each other for an hour, accidentally kiss, then decide to like each other during an extremely vague montage. That isn't how people fall in love.
