I was also an early writer, and when I began to write, at about the age of seven, stories in pencil with crayon illustrations that my poor mother was obligated to read, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they played in the snow, they ate apples, (Laughter) and they talked a lot about the weather, how lovely it was that the sun had come out.
Tamén fun unha escritora temperana. E cando comecei a escribir, sobre os sete anos, historias en lapis con ilustracións en ceras que a miña pobre nai estaba obrigada a ler, escribía exactamente o tipo de historias que lía. Todas as miñas personaxes eran brancas e de ollos azuis. Xogaban na neve. Comían mazás. (Risas) E falaban moito sobre o tempo, o bonito que era que saíra o sol.
