Jane Green

"It depends on what you think of when you hear the term 'chick lit.'  If you think it denotes a young fluffy girl in designer heels and handbags looking for Mr. Right, I'd be horrified.  If you think of it as reflective, resonant, real stories that speak to women today, I'd cheer."

"Writing is my joy, but not alwasy; much of the time it is my job, and I have to write whether I feel like it or not, whether inspiration strikes or not.  That is how you make a story unfold."

"The greatest difficulty is the actual writing.  It is always easier to do something else.  Dull, awful jobs like laundry, ironing and weeding suddenly feel like an urgent priority when you're looking at a blank page that needs to be filled with a couple of thousand words before you can sit back and breathe deeply."

"Jane [helped me to learn to] shrug off snide reviews—from journalists ro readers.  Doing so enables me not to waste writing time fretting over the opinions of others."

"Freya once said if you write your characters correctly and know them well, they will then tell their own stories.  It was the best piece of writing advice I've ever received."
