I Believe That To Create Real-seeming Characters, The Writer Must Be Willing To Go On A Voyage Of Self-exploration. It Can Be Revealing And Even Painful To Explore Your Own Weakness, But It Gives You Genuine Emotion. Characters In Fiction Come Alive Because Of The Believability Of Their Emotional Lives And That Is What I Strive To Create.

I Look At The Great Poets Of The Soviet Union, Like Anna Akhmatova, Who Endured Far Worse Then Anything We've Seen Or Hopefully That We Will Ever See. If They Could Keep Writing And Keep A Voice Alive, Keep People Hopeful Through Their Poetry, Then I Would Be Ashamed To Stop And To Give In. It Would Be Really Self-indulgent, Unacceptable, And Inexcusable To Walk Away From It.

I Was Reading Raymond Chandler Very Much With The Feminist Eye. In Six Of His Seven Novels, It's The Woman Who Presents Herself In A Sexual Way, Who Is The Main Bad Person. And Then You Start Reading More Fiction, Whether Crime Fiction Or Straight Fiction, It's Just Bad Girls Trying To Make Good Boys Do Bad Things, Going All The Way Back To Adam And Eve. The Woman That Thou Gavest Me Made Me Do It, Adam Says To God.
