Personally, I Have Never Wished I Were

Of Course A Magazine Is Usually More Interesting Than A Conversation, Because So Much More Time And Preparation Has Gone Into It.

I Guess I Consider Myself At Times To Have Intuition.

I Just Write The Books That I Think I Would Want To Read.

... It Struck Me As So Hard To Believe I Was Really Getting What I Wanted; It Was Always Easier To Feel The Lack Of Something Than The Thing Itself.

Even More Than Getting Compliments On Social Media, What I Love Is When Some Random Stranger Says Something Very Funny Or Insightful About My Books, Often In 140 Characters Or Less! It's A Very Casual, Low-stakes, Non-burdensome Way Of Connecting That I Think Is Fun For Both The Writer And The Reader. And There Are A Lot Of Clever People Out There Who Have No Connection To Publishing.
