When I Write A Book, I Don't Have A Plan Or An Outline. The Characters Move The Action, And The Action Develops The Characters. When I Write A Book, I Become An Actor, Really, Taking The Role Of The Person Who Is Speaking Or Acting At The Time, And So Their Reactions To Whatever They See Are My Reactions.
