Such great advice: that you can't "worry and write at the same time."

I wish my English teacher was like you, Gillian. We had to write a poem last year in 11th grade and then read them aloud to the class. I wrote mine on murdering and then eating a family (SOMETHING I WOULDN'T DO MIND YOU) and I couldn't read it or he would've had to 'report me.' I just like horror!
The point about it being a sign that you are being lazy when that happens really rings true; its good to see talented writers put up those guardrails
Hey Gillian Flynn, this is Ed from Brazil and I'm a huge fan of your three first novels and Im soooo looking foward to the next one! When will it be released?? Love ya
I would love to read and review Growup if you want me too, send me your email and I will email you mind , because I would do it in PDF
Unfortunately I worry and write .. Because I think that worry what pushes me to write . I guess I need to diminsh this feeling and try to feel more confident and relaxed. For me it is really hard to do that because I am stressed all the time. I hope that sometimes I become like you. Having nothing to worry about while writing is absolutely mush better.
Mam, ,, Have you ever been gone to re habitalization after involving in the character u have in books??
For me, writing is a moment of love, serenity and suffering. It is not a moment like all moments. A completely different moment, and therefore, prepare for it psychologically and financially. Writing requires honesty and loyalty to the idea and subject that you address in your writing. Sometimes it is a moment of madness that does not happen again. It comes only once. And believe. I write as I breathe, I write the title and continuity of life

Thank you for this answer Gillian, I had the same question in my head when reading your books. As a counselor and social worker, it was inevitable that my mind would create a narrative around what came from your real life experiences and what came from your imagination. I appreciate you framing it as being lazy. Thank you for your answer, and your imagination.
