I think writers worry that you might not exist in some strange way if you're not writing.

I think it’s very important to write a demythologized woman character. My characters are flawed. They are no better than they should be.

Here we go again. Always a few drinks, but sometimes even sober, we play the unhappiness game; endlessly round and round. Ding dong. Tighter and tighter. On and on. Push me pull you. Come here and i'll tell you how much i hate you. Hang on a minute while i leave you. All the while we know we are missing the point, whatever the point used to be.

I write anywhere - when I have an idea it’s hard not to write. I used to be kind of precious about where I wrote. Everything had to be quiet and I couldn’t be disturbed, it really filled my day.

I love the characters not knowing everything and the reader knowing more than them. There's more mischief in that and more room for seriousness, too.

I am interested in silences

I'm quite interested in the absolute roots of narrative, why we tell stories at all: where the monsters come from.
