Waiting to be 'better' is the wrong approach. It's learning to live with it.

Marian Keyes
Image
I used to feel defensive when people would say, 'Yes, but your books have happy endings', as if that made them worthless, or unrealistic. Some people do get happy endings, even if it's only for a while. I would rather never be published again than write a downbeat ending.
