A real scientist solves problems, not wails that they are unsolvable.

I did not have a chance to write novels until my youngest child started school fulltime.

The thing is, emotion - if it's visibly felt by the writer - will go through all the processes it takes to publish a story and still hit the reader right in the gut. But you have to really mean it.

I didn't raise Todd to be a writer, but he happened to be one anyway.

At age 77, I need the help of someone with more energy than I can now summon to finish a book.
