#i write

I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write. ↗

Usually, I walk around and think about things. When I come across a thought that makes me laugh, I write it down. ↗

When I write about a 15-year old, I jump, I return to the days when I was that age. It's like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly. ↗

Whenever I write a novel, music just sort of naturally slips in (much like cats do, I suppose). ↗

Writing is fun - at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That's easy to manage. ↗

I write because I like to make things and the only things I am good at making things with are words. ↗

I write scripts in storyboard fashion using stick figures, and thought balloons and word balloons and captions. Then I'll write descriptions of what scenes should look like and turn it over to the artist. ↗

My work looks like a comic book in form, but it's not a typical comic book in content. I write autobiographical stuff. ↗

I feel I'm able to get rid of any demons lurking in my psyche through my writing, which leaves me free to create all of this and to enjoy our family life, stepping away from all the fictional traumas and the dramas. If I write about family in crisis, then I won't have to live through it, I guess. ↗

I write adult fiction, but a good 40 to 50 per cent of my readers are teenagers. I love that if they have to grow up and move past JK Rowling they can move to me. From Jo to Jodi! ↗
