There's Not Some Finite Amount Of Pain Inside Us. Our Bodies And Minds Just Keep Manufacturing More Of It.

I Think I Was Always Writing Books That Had Very Clear Scenic Structures. I Do Tend To Write In Scenes. I Do Tend To Have A Fair Amount Of Dialogue. And I Do Tend To Use Stories That Don't Sprawl All Over The Place, That Have A Very Sharp Focus In Terms Of How They Unfold In Time.

It's Like The Human Race Has Been Programmed For Misery.

Once You'd Broken Through That Invisible Barrier That Separates One Person From Another, You Were Connected Forever, Whether You Liked It Or Not.

Nothing Beats Novel Writing Because It's Complete Expression Of You. You Just Control Everything. Not Even A Movie Director Has That Level Of Control.
