Something about becoming a public person seemed to have frightened my muses, and they fled. Suddenly, I had no access to writing. Sometimes all you can do is wait. But after a while, there are things you can do to stimulate writing: travel to an exotic place, say yes to every invitation, be a little brave in the world (whatever that means to you) and then do what Dorothea Brande recommended in 1934 -- get up earlier than usual and before anything else (even coffee) write for as long as you can, anything that comes. Do this until your unconscious trusts you again. (less)

Solsbury Hill is Not a Sequel

Solsbury Hill is not a sequel to Wuthering Heights. I wrote a novel about a young woman who moves through her life and its challenges with lightness and grace. A modern young woman who is self-aware and a little bit courageous.

I'm a student of Emily Bronte's writings and of her life. Wuthering Heights is a novel about a kind of love that kills, and somehow we've managed to interpret that love -- Read more of this blog post »
