My job as the writer is to fool you. Your job as the reader is to see if you can catch me at it.
Sue Grafton
Image
My primary lesson, however, was that I'm a solo writer, happiest when I'm making all the executive decisions. I've always been willing to rise or fall on my own merits.
Sue Grafton
Image
I write because it's all I know how to do. Writing is my anchor and my purpose. My life is informed by writing, whether the work is going well or I'm stuck in the hell of writer's block, which I'm happy to report only occurs about once a day.

Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them. I don't believe in ghosts, I said, faintly. Some people can't see the color red. That doesn't mean it isn't there, she replied.

Sue Grafton
Image
If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them.
Sue Grafton
Image
Who knows what part we play in other people's dreams?
Sue Grafton
Image
There are days when none of us can bear it, but the good comes around again. Happiness is seasonal, like anything else. Wait it out. There are people who love you. People who can help.
Sue Grafton
Image
If your mind isn't open, keep your mouth shut too.
Sue Grafton
Image
Sometimes I claim I write because I put in an application at Sears and they've never called back.
Sue Grafton
Image
People talk about dysfunctional families I've never seen any other kind.
Sue Grafton
Image
Poise and indifference so often look the same.
Sue Grafton
Image
Writing isn't about the destination-writing is the journey that transforms the soul and gives meaning to all else.
Sue Grafton
Image
There's really no such thing as an 'ex-cop' or a cop who's 'off-duty' or 'retired.' Once trained, once indoctrinated, a cop is always alert, assessing reality in terms of its potential for illegal acts.
Sue Grafton
Image
Emotion doesn't travel in a straight line. Like water, our feelings trickle down through cracks and crevices, seeking out the little pockets of neediness and neglect, the hairline fractures in our character usually hidden from public view.
