"I was in the hospital, having just delivered my second baby in 1970, when my husband showed up--these were the days when you actually were allowed to stay in the hospital a full two days -- my husband showed up with the galleys of my first story to be published. And that was the story that was going to be in Triquarterly. And I remember that I pulled that thing across the bed that you have your meals on, you know, in the hospital, corrected the galleys, and thought, this must be an augury of the fact that, yes, I will be able to go on writing."
