No two books come out the same way. Some I write by the seat of my pants; others are planned in minute detail.

Speech recognition is utterly crap for writing fiction. If you try reading a novel aloud you'll soon figure out why - written prose style is utterly unlike the spoken word.

The problem with ebook filesharing is simply one of scale. But I think the "piracy" problem is massively over-rated.

What I read: while I'm writing, I tend to go off reading fiction for relaxation - especially the challenging stuff. It's too much like the day job.

I do not click on random youtube videos.

Publishing is the final step in making a book; if I was afraid to publish one, I wouldn't write it in the first place.

Life begets intelligence, intelligence begets smart matter and a singularity.
