Career

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"I focus on the writing and let the rest of the process take care of itself. I've learned to trust my own instincts and I've also learned to take risks."

Trust

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"At that point, I sat down and made an alphabetical list of all the crime related words I could think of. So here I am now, nearly half-way through, probably tied up until the year 2015 or SO."

Crime

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"I started writing seriously when I was 18, wrote my first novel when I was 22, and I've never stopped writing since."

Writing

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"My primary lesson, however, was that I'm a solo writer, happiest when I'm making all the executive decisions. I've always been willing to rise or fall on my own merits."

Decision-Making

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"Of the first seven novels I wrote, numbers four and five were published. Numbers one, two, three, six, and seven, have never seen the light of day... and rightly so."

Writing

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"The character of Rosie is based on a woman who used to live in the same apartment building I lived in many years ago. She's taken on a life of her own, of course."

Life

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"Ideas are easy. It's the execution of ideas that really separates the sheep from the goats."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"I don't want to write formula. I don't want to crank these books out like sausages. Every book is different, which takes a hell of a lot of ingenuity on my part."

Books

Quote_1.png
Sue Grafton
"Having reached the halfway mark in the alphabet, my prime focus is on writing each new book as well as I can."
