I was completely shocked - two Grammy nominations. I've said it out loud to myself about 100 times.

It is true that I didn't write any poetry between 1995 and 2011. The reason for this was probably because I had stayed away from fiction for so long and couldn't tear myself away from it.

All the Junos, the Grammy nominations, the gold and platinum records, did nothing to assuage my conviction that I was an out-and-out loser.

Winning the ACM, winning the CMA, my first time on the Opry and having Grammy nominations were all a big deal to me.

Once 'Walk Two Moons' received the Newbery Medal, I decided to write full-time. Partly because there seemed to be an audience out there who wanted to read what I wanted to write, and partly because I could now support myself financially through writing.

Sharon Creech

I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

My idea of making time for myself is writing songs. I never stop beating myself up about trying to be productive, so I don't really like to do a lot of things other than write in my journal and write songs.
