I save the best of myself for novels, and I believe it shows

I spend about a year between novels

My decision to start a new one is just that, a decision, since I never get inspirations.

The first-person viewpoint is more enjoyable to write, because it lets me meander more freely, and it can reveal more of the character's self-delusions. Really all the advantages are with first-person, so I'm sorry I don't get to pick and choose.

I didn't really choose to write; I more or less fell into it.

I write because I want more than one life; I insist on a wider selection. It's greed, plain and simple.

I don't want to say I hear voices; well, actually I do hear voices, but I don't think it's supernatural. I think it's just that when characters are given enough texture and backbone, then lo and behold, they stand on their own.
