More From Jodi Picoult

I don't start a novel until i have lived with the story for awhile to the point of actually writing an outline and after a number of books i've learned that the more time i spend on the outline the easier the book is to write. and if i cheat on the outline i get in trouble with the book.
Book Writing Numbers
The book is finished by the reader. a good novel should invite the reader in and let the reader participate in the creative experience and bring their own life experiences to it, interpret with their own individual life experiences. every reader gets something different from a book and every reader, in a sense, completes it in a different way.
Book Creative Way
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

She didn’t understand why it was happening,” he said. “i had to tell her she would die. her social worker said i had to tell her. i had to tell her she would die, so i told her she was going to heaven. she asked if i would be there, and i said that i would not, not yet. but eventually, she said, and i promised that yes, of course, very soon. and i told her that in the meantime we had great family up there that would take care of her. and she asked me when i would be there, and i told her soon. twenty-two years ago.

An outline is crucial. it saves so much time. when you write suspense, you have to know where you're going because you have to drop little hints along the way. with the outline, i always know where the story is going. so before i ever write, i prepare an outline of 40 or 50 pages.
Writing Littles Pages
A reader is entitled to believe what he or she believes is consonant with the facts of the book. it is not unusual that readers take away something that is spiritually at variance from what i myself experienced. that's not to say readers make up the book they want. we all have to agree on the facts. but readers bring their histories and all sets of longings. a book will pluck the strings of those longings differently among different readers.

A lot of times, candidates for office, especially incumbents, seem to get drawn into their opponents' arguments, and fighting on their turf, because you want to defend yourself. that's wrong. fight on your own turf. make them come to you. make them explain why they don't agree with your position. i think that a lot of times, too many liberals, progressives, lose because they're afraid to really stand up for what they believe in.
Believe Fighting Thinking
I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon law and upon courts. these are false hopes, believe me, these are false hopes. liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. while it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no courts to save it.
Lying Believe Heart
I don't believe in any form of unjustified extremism! but when a man is exercising extremism -- a human being is exercising extremism -- in defense of liberty for human beings it's no vice, and when one is moderate in the pursuit of justice for human beings i say he is a sinner.
