What is it like writing for a living? I love to write but I am afraid thjat writing a book will be to hard.

Mary Kubica I love writing. For me, it's the best career I can imagine. If writing is something you're passionate about, then by all means give it a try! It takes time to write books, of course (and often times it is hard!) - many months or sometimes years. It can feel like a slow process, so don't force yourself to try getting it done too quickly. Enjoy the process and you'll be amazed how sentences turn into paragraphs, and paragraphs into pages, and pages eventually into a book. Best of luck with your writing!

Hi Mary, I can't wait for Don't You Cry. Can you share some good nuggets about the differences between writing your 2nd and 3rd novels? Was one easier? Did you feel more pressure? Any writer's block? Changes to your writing routine? etc. Also, how many times have you been mistaken for the actress Sarah Wayne Callies? :) Thanks! All
