I've dealt with depression my entire life, on and off, which makes me the perfect author for teenage readers. — © Laurie Halse Anderson
I've dealt with depression my entire life, on and off, which makes me the perfect author for teenage readers.
Until the Great Depression, most economists clung to a vision of capitalism as a perfect or nearly perfect system. That vision wasn’t sustainable in the face of mass unemployment, but as memories of the Depression faded, economists fell back in love with the old, idealized vision of an economy in which rational individuals interact in perfect markets.
It makes me nuts, the idea that if you put a political struggle at the heart of your book, then it has to be that the author - me - is trying in some way to push my views onto my readers.
People who have never dealt with depression think it's just being sad or being in a bad mood. That's not what depression is for me; it's falling into a state of grayness and numbness.
Unfortunately what is little recognized is that the most worthwhile scientific books are those in which the author clearly indicates what he does not know; for an author most hurts his readers by concealing difficulties.
Depression is something I've dealt with every day of my life.
I personally dealt with a lot of depression and anxiety in my life.
I was desperate for something to read that dealt realistically with teenage life, and I thought others might be, too.
I keep living life as it's dealt to me. Sometimes, it's not dealt 100 percent. Sometimes it's dealt on the low '30s.
Depression scares people off. It makes me laugh that it has that kind of effect.
Im not angry. I have never been angry in my entire life. The only thing that makes me angry is people videorecording me. Making me mad. NOW TURN IT OFF!
I dealt with depression for my whole life. That's not something that was caused by being trans.
I think the biggest challenge I have faced is that I have struggled most of my life with often crippling depression which has sometimes if not keeping me off stage kept me from writing regularly and with any kind of confidence.
An author entices the readers with their words, and it is painful for them to even lose a sentence. But films and books are two different mediums and should be dealt differently. What works in a book might not work for a film. When I saw 'Anna Karenina' on screen, I didn't like it at all, whereas 'The Godfather' was legendary.
I've dealt with Democrats and Republicans all my life, and somebody said, "Oh, do you have that much experience politically?" You know, I've dealt - and understand this better than anybody. I've dealt with politicians all of my life.
I have something that makes me happy on some level and this is a good way for me to deal with the torment of that teenage life gave me
Point-of-view is a matter that readers rarely pay attention to, yet it's one of the most important story decisions an author makes.
