We are more than the parts that form us.

Bones mend. Regret stays with you forever.

I'm not a speed writer. I write slowly and revise obsessively. The end result tends to be good. That's where my strength is.

Just because I tread heavily on propriety's toes doesn't mean I can't play the game when it's of use to me.

I'm kind of balanced between excited about the potential of the project, and the knowledge that I shouldn't get my hopes up. I like to be practical, and the truth is, these deals fall apart all the time.

Half a King is my favorite book by Joe Abercrombie so far, and that's saying something.

Now that I understand how publishing schedules work, I can understand why many authors have the sophomore slump. A year is a long time to wait for a sequel, but it's a short, short time to WRITE a sequel.
