I feel more influenced in my own work by dreams than I do by other writers' works in a way. Or by popular culture, movies - what else is there to write about than love and loss? ↗

I never see a novel as a film while I'm writing it. Mostly because novels and films are so different, and I'm such an internal novelist. ↗

Ironically, now that my children are older and gone quite a bit, I find it harder to work when they're not around. Too much free time! ↗

It was a great escape for me and it was a way to take a break from what was going on in my own world, to go into another world. ↗

The adults don't know what's happening on the kids' universe and the kids don't know what's happening on the adults' universe. ↗
