You learn to exploit genre for the more important things - to my mind - like story, character, image, language.
Julianna Baggott
I've left the Church - for many reasons that I've written about publicly - but it's still a large part of my identity, and I still have my faith, if not my Church.
Julianna Baggott
Our imaginations are strong as children. Sometimes they get shoved aside, these imaginations. They get dusty and mildewed with age. The imagination is a muscle that has to be put to use or it shrivels.
Julianna Baggott
Genres are just bottles for the various boats. The boats matter to me.
Julianna Baggott
I'm about to start something new. I'm waiting to be whelmed. The whelming as you start something new is quite something.

I'm a woman, but I've been a sexist, too.
Julianna Baggott
And I know I'm supposed to feel guilty for wanting people to buy my books... and books in general? Novels and poetry, they belong to the realm of art. How dirty of us to try to hawk art! But, after a decade of hand-wringing and apologies, I can't quite muster the guilt anymore.

Red Sox fans have been pushed to the brink over the years, but that's how faith grows stronger.
Julianna Baggott
Basically if you burst into my office the walls themselves will flutter as if alive - maybe that's the reason for all the wings in 'Pure.
Julianna Baggott
I write across genres so I see them, more often, as complementary instead of separated by boundaries.
Julianna Baggott
I believe that one of the most damning things about our culture is the adage to never talk religion and politics. Because we don't model this discourse at the dinner table and at Thanksgiving, we don't know how to do it well and we're not teaching our children about the world and about how to discuss it.
Julianna Baggott
I've never thought there was anything I could hope to get by praying for it.
Julianna Baggott
The intricacy of plotting a thriller is akin to writing formal poetry.
Julianna Baggott
Is it wrong to kill something that wants to kill you?
Julianna Baggott
I didn't start writing so that I could more deeply know myself. I was bored of myself, my life, my childhood, my hometown. I started writing as a way to know others, to get away from myself.
Julianna Baggott
No matter what losses happen in a given season, the Red Sox always have next year.
Julianna Baggott
But there it is: Everyone is alone, for life, and maybe that's not such a bad thing.
Julianna Baggott
Love is selfless, it is a weakness, a giving in, a constant falling.
Julianna Baggott
I am deeply Catholic and always will be, but I'm no longer a member of the church. I left in 2003 because of the sex abuse scandal.
Julianna Baggott
I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men.
