Laurie Foos Quotes

I could have a lot of fun with Michael Jackson, I’m sure Picture Quote #1

As I get older, I’m finding that I recognize certain celebrities only because they frequently grace the pages of US Weekly, but beyond that, I have no idea what they do Picture Quote #1

As a reader I gravitate toward work that rests in the gray area, that doesn’t come with easy answers Picture Quote #1

I’m a pop culture junkie. I’m a People magazine reader, an US Weekly subscriber; all of those celebrity magazines get my dollar Picture Quote #1

We’re seeing more women writing dystopian fiction, more women writing novels set post-apocalyptic settings, subjects and themes that used to be dominated by men Picture Quote #1

I’ve realized that with each novel I seem to set out a kind of puzzle for myself. And I am never sure in the process of writing a first draft how it’s all going to turn out Picture Quote #1

Fundamentally I think we all write the kinds of work we’d most like to read. Or we try to Picture Quote #1

I don’t see the direct correlation between my personal life and the novel I’m writing until I’m at the end of the novel or very close to it Picture Quote #1

Having a magical element in a realistic setting without explanation seems to me to be the hallmark of fairy tales, which present us with a kind of metaphorical look at some aspect of our lives Picture Quote #1

I feel that if I establish the world or the premise from the first line, then I can get the reader to come with me where I want her to go Picture Quote #1
