I Love This Idea Of The Body

Structure Is, For Me, The Most Fun Challenge About Writing Novels.

The Dreamed Outcome Of Launching A Psychic Attack Can Make You Feel Small And Petty. I Think For That Reason I'm Going To Refrain From Launching Any.

I Obviously Read And Adore Traditional Fiction. I Teach Traditional Fiction, I Also Teach All Kind Of Not-so-traditional Fiction. And Since I'm Such A Plot Buff, And I'm Really Such A Narrative Buff, I Can't Seem To Relinquish My - Not Just Reliance - But Excitement About Those Traditional Techniques.

I Want The Plot To Be As Complicated As Possible. Usually I'll Write All The Way Through To An End, And Then I Go Back And Try To Fix The Ending So That It Makes Sense. I Don't Think Out The Plot Ahead Of Time.

I Think The One Reason That Writers Marry Other Writers - One Of The Reasons That I Married Another Writer - Was, I Fell In Love With That Writer. But Second Of All, I Had Been Married Before And A Source Of Marital Strife Was Me Needing To Go Away For A Couple Of Weeks To Write Or It's Saturday And I Think I Just Need To Work Today And Not Hang Out With You.
