I’d like to write the kind of book that I’d like
to read. And immediately there’s that thing in your head that
goes, “Why? There are a gazillion books out there. Why would
you want to write a book? This little wife in the midwest
surrounded by kids—who’s going to want to read that?” And the other
part of my brain goes, “Well why not? Why shouldn't I
write that? If nobody reads it, I wrote it, I’m happy. So why
not?"
