Too Much Screaming In Congress. Too Much

I Spend Eight Months Outlining And Researching The Novel Before I Begin To Write A Single Word Of The Prose.

So I Work Hard To Present The Human Side Of My Characters While Not Neglecting The Plot.

I Like The Way Words Go Together And I Like The Gamesmanship Of Writing Poetry. It Is Such A Challenge.

When It Comes Time To Write The Book Itself I'll Shut The Lights Out, Picture The Scene I'm About To Write Then Close My Eyes And Go At It. Yes, I Can Touch Type.

It Means Working Harder To Do The Research But I Don't Really Mind - I Don't Think I Have What It Takes To Chase Criminals Through Back Alleys And Wade Through Blood At Crime Scenes.
