I'm Really Quite Bad At Coming Up

I've Heard That Some Authors Do Dream Their Books And I Would Love That If It Happened To Me, But So Far It Hasn't. Sometimes I'll Get A Good Idea During The Night And If I Don't Write It Down, I Won't Remember It The Next Morning.

My Characters Live Inside My Head For A Long Time Before I Actually Start A Book. They Become So Real To Me, I Talk About Them At The Dinner Table As If They Are Real. Some People Consider This Weird. But My Family Understands.

I Have Like Two Dreams A Week That I Have To Write A Paper That I'm Late With Or That I've Gone Back To High School And Have To Do That In Addition To My Current Job.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.

I Meet People On The Street Or At Book Signings And They Tend To Treat Me As If They Know Me, As If We're Connected. It's Great.
