I Would Make Up [theodor] Seuss-like Books

My Mother Never Talked About Sex. I Was On The Dr. Ruth [ Westheimer] Show Once - This Is Years And Years And Years Ago - And It Was Her Mother's Day Show. And I Didn't Know What We Were Going To Talk About But What She Decided We Were Going To Talk About Was Female Masturbation. My Mother Had Invited All Her Girlfriends. And You Know These Were All Women In Their Late Seventy's Maybe They Were In Their Eighty's By Then And Then And They Were Horrified Because Dr Ruth Had A Little She Had A Little Chart Up You Know "female Masturbation".

I Thought ["summer Sisters" ] Would Be A Children's Book - Two Girls Who Summer Together From Very Different Backgrounds. And Then When It Just Kept Going And Going And Going. They Kept Getting Older.

I Think About Lenaya And Hugh. Will They Know How Much I've Changed This Year? Will They Have Changed Too? I'll Wait Until Tomorrow To Find Out. And Then It's Possible I Won't Find Out After All. Because Some Changes Happen Deep Down Inside Of You. And The Truth Is, Only You Know About Them. Maybe That's The Way It's Supposed To Be.

I Hate First Drafts, And It Never Gets Easier. People Always Wonder What Kind Of Superhero Power They'd Like To Have. I Wanted The Ability For Someone To Just Open Up My Brain And Take Out The Entire First Draft And Lay It Down In Front Of Me So I Can Just Focus On The Second, Third And Fourth Drafts.

I Wasn't Interested In The Kinds Of Books That I Thought I Should Be Reading.
