I do confess to being the exasperated, bossy, know-it-all, overachieving big sister.

The common thread in all my projects is 'girls being awesome.' Can we make that a genre?

I don't plot with huge detail, just big moments and important elements, and then I have a structure but can fly by the seat of my pants when I write.

I didn't want to be a writer. First I wanted to act, and then I wanted to be a painter like my big sister.

My older sister is bossy, my brother is a stirrer and me - well, I am perfect!

Sometimes it's best to let your opponent think he has control.
