Unfortunately, there are writers whose only concern is how good they could make themselves look on a title.

I've always thought of myself as an organic writer, rather than a cerebral one. I feel my way along as I go, hoping I'll get to the place I intend to reach.

There is an ancient legend which warns that, should we ever learn our true origin, our universe will instantly be destroyed.

I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age 7, my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. I was hooked.

Sometimes you're not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I've written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.

When someone writes to tell me something I've written made them laugh or cry, I've done my job and done it well. The rest is all semantics.

I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.
