So long as readers keep reading and my publishers keep publishing, I plan to keep on writing. I'd have to be an idiot to be burnt-out in this job.
Lee ChildI write in the afternoon, from about 12 until 6 or 7. I use an upstairs room as my office. Once I get going I keep at it, and it usually takes about six months from the first blank screen until 'The End.
Lee ChildEverything you could want - action, suspense, character and setting, all floating on the easy lyricism of a fine writer at the top of his game.
Lee ChildI have three desks. One empty for paperwork, one for the internet and email, and one for the writing computer.
Lee ChildEvaluate. Long experience had taught me to evaluate and assess. When the unexpected gets dumped on you, donโt waste time. Donโt figure out how or why it happened. Donโt recriminate. Donโt figure out whose fault it is. Donโt work out how to avoid the same mistake next time. All of that you do later. If you survive.
