Elizabeth Gilbert
My work IS my fun. As the old adage goes: "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." But aside from writing, my favorite things are: long walks, anything involving the ocean, travel to new places, going to Target with my best friend Rayya, and sitting at the kitchen table drinking wine while my husband cooks dinner and we talk about our day. And karaoke. Always, always Karaoke.

"The Signature of All Things" moved me, I felt so many magical nerves shift as I finished! One curious habit of a couple characters really had me wondering, that of Reverend Welles forgetting that others actually eat and Mr. Pike's proclamation that he could have lived off the sun alone. Were their habits related? Have you known someone that's done this? Is it the human-plants-earth connection the made you include it?

How do you find the time and energy to devote to creativity when you have to balance other obligations in life? Do you have to take a leap of faith and give up some things in order to nurture those creative ideas that come into our lives? I feel like ideas float to me all the time, but because of my job and life, I am always saying no. It's dispiriting. I really want to say yes one of these days. How?
