I Think The Close Work I Do

I Don't Pare Down Much. I Write The Beginning Of A Story In A Notebook And It Comes Out Very Close To What It Will Be In The End. There Is Not Much Deliberateness About It.

I Am Basically The Sort Of Person Who Has Stage-fright Teaching. I Kind Of Creep Into A Classroom. I'm Not An Anecdote-teller, Either, Although I Often Wish I Were.

When I'm Trying A New Form- Trying To Do Something I'm Not Used To Doing, Which Was True Of The Novel.

I Do See An Interest In Writing For Twitter. While Publishers Still Do Love The Novel And People Do Still Like To Sink Into One, The Very Quick Form Is Appealing Because Of The Pace Of Life.

I'm A Fierce Editor! I Don't Edit Out Things That I Began By Saying, Usually. The Editing Is On The Micro Level - A Comma Here, A Word There.
