If I'm writing and a chapter isn't coming, I just move ahead.

When I write I pretend I'm telling a story to someone in the room and I don't want them to get up until I'm finished.

So Fnick, can I change channel?" Iggy asked. "There's a game on." "Make yourself at home, Figgy." Fang said.

I never miss a good chance to shut up

I'm big on having a blistering pace. That's one of the hallmarks of what I do, and that's not easy. I never blow up cars and things like that, so it's something else that keeps the suspense flowing. I try not to write a chapter that isn't going to turn on the movie projector in your head.

Because what’s worse than knowing you want something, besides knowing you can never have it?
