My parents were sixty years married.

It's hard for me to measure them, or to assess my books because I'm so close to them.

I don't work to any commissions. I do what I want to do.

Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's part of any endeavour, not just writing.

I like naming characters.

I wouldn't go out of my way to experience the indignity of middle-age just because it might be good meat for a story.

I see people in terms of dialogue and I believe that people are their talk.
