Important
|
Nov 07, 2020

Both my mother and I have close groups of friends that include other writers, and these friendships are very important to us.

Growing Up
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've always been drawn to writing for young readers. The books that I read growing up remain in my mind very strongly.

Experience
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Charlotte's Web,' which I read sitting on my mother's lap, was the most emotional experience: that was when I made the leap from seeing how to untangle words to realizing how books both contain and convey strong feelings.

Love

Nov 07, 2020

I really love Scrabble. I played it with my mother growing up. We took it everywhere with us. We didn't know then about the two letter words. Who knew that AA, or more controversially, ZA, or QI were words? We were a games family generally.

Good

Nov 07, 2020

My being a writer and playing Scrabble are connected. If I have a good writing day, I'll take a break and play online Scrabble. My favorite word as a child was 'carrion,' before I knew what it meant. I later created crossword puzzles, which was a lot about puns, and how words would create these strange, strange things.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

I really like to entertain myself in various ways when I'm writing.

Face
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm not particularly good at doodling. I'll doodle the same face over and over again.

Nov 07, 2020

I think listening to music from your youth is as powerful as a scent passed beneath your nose.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I love guacamole and think about it a lot when I'm supposed to be thinking about language.

Nov 07, 2020

These are old issues. Female power, misogyny, the treatment of women, how you make meaning in the world. And these are all issues that I've been thinking about and writing about for a very long time.

Big
|
Nov 07, 2020

I believe that sometimes, when we talk about books, we're talking about the big picture - how they're relevant.

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

I am a novelist through and through.

Gratifying
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's gratifying to be taken seriously, always.

Moment
|
Nov 07, 2020

Novels can be a snapshot of a moment in time, or several moments in time, and as a reader, that's what I really like, and as a writer, it's what I'm drawn to also.

Nov 07, 2020

When you're writing, it's so absorbing. It's like a drop cloth goes over you, and the world outside falls away, but you do have a miniature version of the world, your own world, that you actually have some control over. I love to work.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

We all would love the idea of people getting what's coming to them in books and in life, but sometimes the trajectory is a little more complicated than that.

Go
|
Nov 07, 2020

I sometimes feel as if ideas for a novel kind of pop up like numbers in a bingo tumbler, and then they're ready to go.

Different
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm really interested in women of different generations... I think there is no one female experience.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I was in junior high school, friends and I were in a consciousness-raising group, a term that now seems quaint like a butter churn, but it was very powerful. It was a really wonderful experience.

Nov 07, 2020

People say, write what you know, but it's really, write about what obsesses you. Write about what you're thinking about all the time.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's hard for me to feel bad when I'm writing well.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a novelist, I feel lucky that I can traffic in nuance. I'm more interested in looking at how things change over time, at how people try and sometimes fail to make meaning out of their lives.

Nov 07, 2020

I do want to say the process of writing a novel is riddled with self-doubt and self-loathing.

Write
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't write autobiographically.

Concentrated
|
Nov 07, 2020

When you have a book out, it's like a period of protracted or concentrated megalomania, and it's really not normal or good for you or any of that.

New
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think a lot of the dull parts of first drafts come from a kind of over-managing, intrusive writer who wants to direct traffic. The idea of taking out the parts that the reader could infer is very liberating, and it's weirdly part of radicalizing your work: it allows you to go to new places fast.

Entertainment
|
Nov 07, 2020

'Pleasure' is a word I think about a lot, as opposed to 'entertainment.' They are very, very different.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

We all want to write the kind of book that we want to read. If you put in the things that you are thinking about and create characters who feel like they could live - at least for me, that's the way I want to write.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

Some people are uncomfortable saying what they feel.

More
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think my writing changed when I put 'the' in front of my titles. It had more command.

Nov 07, 2020

In 'The Interestings' I wanted to write about what happens to talent over time. In some people talent blooms, in others it falls away.

Nov 07, 2020

If you've written a powerful book about a woman and your publisher then puts a 'feminine' image on the cover, it 'types' the book.

Good Writing
|
Nov 07, 2020

Good writing is good writing, and I'm so happy when I read it.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I wrote 'The Interestings,' I wanted to let time unspool, to give the book the feeling of time passing. I had to allow myself the freedom to move back and forth in time freely, and to trust that readers would accept this.

Nov 07, 2020

I think everyone is always measuring themselves against other people to a certain degree; it happens automatically, and it's hard not to be this way at least some of the time.
