As a little girl, I used to write stories, but by my teenage years, I got out of the habit.

If you start a new career at 40, you've still got another 35 years to go.

I know some writers are meticulous planners, but I'm not one of them.

I love 19th century fiction and, in particular, fiction written by and about women.

The topic 'Farm Wisdom' is not a gospel doctrine or scriptural topic, although I found considerable scriptural support for the lessons learned on the farm.

After many years of great mercy, after tasting of the powers of the world to come, we still are so weak, so foolish; but, oh! when we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.

I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family, a typical family with drama in certain areas, and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life.

As I experience life and go through things, that's what I write about.
