Only Bad Writers Think That Their Work

Sometimes I Will Spend Two Or Three Days Not Speaking To Anyone Outside Of The Immediate Family When They Come Home, And Then I Find That I've Been Emailing Like Fury. Once You Give In To That Silence, It's Quite Nice.

I Work At The Sentences. Many Of The Things People Find Distinctive About My Writing, I Think Of As Natural.

When You Find Yourself Alone, Or In A Transition, You Dream More. These Are Also The Times When You Read Books.

Write Whatever Way You Like. Fiction Is Made Of Words On A Page; Reality Is Made Of Something Else. It Doesn't Matter How "real" Your Story Is, Or How "made Up": What Matters Is Its Necessity.

A Novel Is Written Not To Be Judged, But Experienced.
