For me, having it all is being paid to write novels,

I'm looking forward to writing more novels for young adults.

I know I'm not a wordsmith. And I don't write poetry. Sometimes I think I should, because it's really helpful. But I always wanted to write novels.

I was incredibly determined - I wrote short stories, I wrote the beginnings of novels. I wrote a little children's book and sent it to the editor-in-chief of the children's division of Simon and Schuster and she asked me to write a little children's book for a series she was doing.

Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them.

Sometimes you have to find the passion. It comes from the inside. ... Everyone has to find it for themselves.
