Cynthia, When did you realize yourself as a writer? After writing first book, publishing , success or …? You know this feeling inside «I am truly a writer»
Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
I have always worked as a writer, my entire adult life. So I’ve always known that I was a writer. I started writing fiction later in my life and when I finished my first novel-The Nest—then I could say I was a novelist and that was a thrill. It was the finishing of the book that made me a writer—not the success that followed, that just made me lucky!

I just finished your book and I thought it was amazing! It read easy and I liked the characters, even if they all had some flaws. I also loved the ending, because of what Leo did the family grew closer in a way and he is missing out on it all. My questions is it hasn't already been answered; where did you come up with the idea and will we see this family again in future books?

Cynthia... I'm asking this questions of several writers—some friends, some strangers. Q: How often are you able to create a desired result for yourself by sheer force of will, or by arranging circumstances? Do you ever feel the reason you aren't far enough along is that you haven't pushed yourself hard enough, even though you've worked very hard? In your writing life or otherwise—is control all it's cracked up to be?
