Normally, I spend a week on the outline and take two weeks to write the book.

I started writing when I was 9 years old. I was like this weird kid who would just stay in my room, typing little funny magazines and drawing comic strips.

I feel happy to terrify kids.

I have a great office.

I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I would never miss any of the comic books. I had practically no hair when I was a kid!

I've had a very sheltered life. What can happen to you if you stay home writing all day?

If you do enough planning before you start to write, there's no way you can have writer's block. I do a complete chapter by chapter outline.
