"Telling a person to work hard on a novel is like telling a person to think. You can't just do it on command."

This is how I know Margaret is not cut out for this life. Writing and thinking are both things you should be able to do on command!

I hate that I related to Margaret in the beginning when she said this:

"What you find out in your thirties is that clever children are a dime a dozen. It's what you do later that counts, and so far I had done nothing."

Because now that I'm about 25% in I want to take her by he shoulders and shake her.
