If people read 'Tomorrow' and feel that it is offering them some view of my own household, they would be very, very wrong.

Novels, in my experience, are slow in coming, and once I've begun them I know I have years rather than months of work ahead of me.

Today's news, which may be yesterday's anyway, will be eclipsed tomorrow.

Structure that really pays off is all based on emotion. I don't write down an elaborate plan. It's really done by feel. It's one area of my writing that I think I've got surer at as I've evolved. In my work you often get an abrupt shift in time, a jolt. But the emotional logic will take the reader on. I hope. I trust. After all, our memories do not work with any sequential logic.

If people read 'Tomorrow' and feel that it is offering them some view of my own household, they would be very, very wrong.

All nature's creatures join to express nature's purpose. Somewhere in their mounting and mating, rutting and butting is the very secret of nature itself.

I do my thinking while I walk. It just loosens up the mind in the way that you don't get when you are sitting at a desk.
