Questa autrice considera il suo processo creativo sostanzialmente immutato dall'infanzia, con idee che la pervadono e la costringono a scrivere. Si sente più un tramite che una proprietaria, costretta a far fluire queste idee. Sebbene l'afflusso di ispirazione rimanga involontario, spera di aver acquisito saggezza e intuito nel tempo per plasmare anche le idee spaventose in opere significative. Spinta dall'amore per le parole e le idee, il suo obiettivo è commuovere i lettori ed espandere il loro mondo o riempire i loro cuori.
