There have been times in my life when I've written like a demon. Produce. Produce. Produce. In the 90s during the first Iraq war. In 2001 after the world trade center. And the past few years as I've watched the world become chaotic again. There is an inescapable human need to find order, I think. And books re-affirm that the times we live through are not so very unique, that there has always been trouble in the world, women searching for happiness and struggling with complex issues, and that in the end of this journey we call life, love is all that matters and what remains once we're gone.
The news at times these days is very grim. It doesn't seem to matter the subject matter. I don't know if the world has changed or if instant access just makes us see it. Writing is a wonderful way to create order, triumph, and re-affirm the power of love and the belief in the happily every after.
