Someone who wants to write should make an effort to write a little something every day. Writing in this sense is the same as athletes who practice a sport every day to keep their skills honed.

Do you know anyone who would - secretly, sincerely, in his innermost self - really prefer to return to childhood?

Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.

My style of writing is to allow the story to unfold on its own. I try not to structure my work too rigidly.

I aim to tell the truth about any subject, not a romance or fantasy, not avoid the truth.

Usually a feeling of disappointment follows the book, because what I hoped to write is not what I actually accomplished. However, it becomes a motivation to write the next book.

I try to trace the connection between the characters and that way a story or plot emerges.
