That's the way I work. I get it all plotted in my mind, and then I write it down.

The tricky thing about being a writer, or about being any kind of artist, is that in addition to making art you also have to make a living.

When you get divorced and remarried, nobody gets discarded. Everybody is still there. Even if their storyline is not directly yours.

The idea I pursue is the one that keeps coming back to me. The characters I think about as I'm falling asleep at night or when I'm driving to the grocery store are the one's I wind up writing about.

This is my job, my livelihood: the health and the well-being of the publishing industry. We're all responsible for this.

I know where I'm going. And if I don't know where I'm going, I don't tend to get anywhere.

You can't spend your whole life in front of a screen.
