Ipak, zbog svog tadašnjeg interesa za abortus odabrala je pisanje jer je to mogla "raditi sama u sobi" i "nitko me nije mogao spriječiti".<ref>Both quotations: Vincent, Norah, Sex, Love and Politics, op. cit., p.&nbsp;42, col.&nbsp;4. Tijekom cijele srednje škole mnogo je čitala, na što su je i roditelji poticali.
