I would love to learn how to air kiss non-awkwardly.

I don't have a day job, so I read any time of day.

There are probably a couple of things I'd never write about until everyone I know is dead. And then there's other stuff which nobody would want to read a book about anyway.

I started my first novel when I was 10, and have produced thousands of pages of juvenilia since.

The simile has to match the tone of its surroundings and has to be like a little joke. Writing a simile that isn't funny on some level is quite hard.

I'm very finicky about when I'm in the right mood to write. So most days, I find some excuse not to do anything.

It seems to me that the basic plot of all historical novels is a romance swept aside by history.
