Mary Higgins Clark Quotes |
| |
Mary Higgins Clark: After I got married, I signed up for a writing course at New York University. There, I got advice from a professor which has always served me well. He said: "Write about what you know. Take a dramatic incident you are familiar with and go with it." I thought of my experience on the last flight to Czechoslovakia and gave my imagination free rein. (About when she started her writing career)
