I used to feel defensive when people would say, 'Yes, but your books have happy endings', as if that made them worthless, or unrealistic. Some people do get happy endings, even if it's only for a while. I would rather never be published again than write a downbeat ending.
I'm proud of what I write and feel endorsed by my readers.
I used to write in bed, starting when I woke up. I believe that creative work comes from our subconscious mind, so I try to keep the gap between sleep and writing as minimal as possible.
I knew it, I just knew it! The person who had the job of writing my life's dialogue used to work on a very low budget soap opera.
Every day I wake up afraid that I won't be able to write, that today is the day it has left me.
