I certainly have done neither, though I'm trying. The things in my world become more and more immediate. I don't really lead a literary life. I live a life very focused on my animals and my kids and the actual act of writing. Horses make you live in the moment, because if you don't, you get hurt.
Distraction can be deadly.
I didn't know how much I didn't live in the moment until I started trying to get through the day with my horse. An entrance, definitely. I think we're moving into a world that we'll be able to live in but that we cannot currently imagine. Yes, once some publication asked me what books made me cry. I named To the Lighthouse and Orlando .
