Conventional wisdom tells us to avoid taking unalterable action while at a low point in life. I have never been conventional  (Therese Fowler Quotes) I’m among the first girls ever to play Little League baseball, and to my knowledge, the very first in western Illinois. It was 1976, and I was a nine-year-old tomboy whose older brothers had played.  (Therese Fowler Quotes) The distinctions of what makes a book one genre or another can sometimes be a bit muddy, but generally it’s a matter of projecting who the audience will be, which is a judgment that’s based on the subject matter. ‘Mainstream’ is the cleanest label for a book that draws readers of both sexes and from a wide age-range.  (Therese Fowler Quotes) Predictability is boring! I want a book to take me someplace I haven’t been before, show me sights I haven’t seen, make me ponder questions I may not have pondered before.  (Therese Fowler Quotes) The history of storytelling isn’t one of simply entertaining the masses but of also advising, instructing, challenging the status quo.  (Therese Fowler Quotes) It’s 2010. I’m forty-three years old. I’ve just turned in the final draft of what will be my third novel when I decide I want a tattoo. Maybe it’s a middle-age thing. Or maybe now that my kids are nearly grown and I have a career in place, I’m finally coming into my own.  (Therese Fowler Quotes) As with many teens, my first jobs included babysitting and mopping floors at McDonald’s. Since then, I’ve held jobs a diverse as selling used cars, selling apparel, cosmetics, and real-estate, substitute-teaching six graders, teaching undergraduate creative writing, and working as an editorial assistant for a literary magazine.  (Therese Fowler Quotes) No writing effort is ever wasted. At the very least, it’s practice, and a writer never knows when he or she might usefully cannibalize an earlier effort for something new.  (Therese Fowler Quotes) My creative workday starts with strong breakfast tea and a few minutes of journaling, both of which help me get my head in the story. So much of story-building for me involves immersing myself in the character and situation I’ll be working on, just the way an actor does when playing a role.  (Therese Fowler Quotes)
