I Don't Think Two People Could Have

That Summer When She Was Eighteen, It Seemed Anything Could Happen, Anything At All.

As Writers We Must, From Our Very Opening Sentence, Speak With Authority To Our Readers.

I Don't Think Two People Could Have Been Happier Than We Have Been.

I Revise Constantly, As I Go Along And Then Again After I've Finished A First Draft. Few Of My Novels Contain A Single Sentence That Closely Resembles The Sentence I First Set Down. I Just Find That I Have To Keep Zapping And Zapping The English Language Until It Starts To Behave In Some Way That Vaguely Matches My Intentions.

This Is What You Do. You Make A Future For Yourself Out Of The Raw Material At Hand.
