Way to Up the Inspirational Ante, Meg Rosoff
Good grief, Meg Rosoff, as if I don't feel lazy and useless and pathetic enough for not getting my short story blog up and running yet:
ButDoYouMissYourAdvertisingCareer?
Instead, what drives Rosoff is the time she may not have left. She began to write after her youngest sister died of breast cancer at the age of 39. Just as How I Live Now was released, Rosoff was diagnosed with the disease herself. Her sister's death and her own diagnosis "put everything into perspective."
Grr. Yeah. Perspective. Geez Louise. Easy for you, Meg Rosoff.
