I have to say that writing about my writing process is more daunting than writing non-fiction.

What works for me is that I read widely and stay focused on my writing. I'm no longer concerned about what happens in the literary marketplace. It is distracting and can lead to discontent.

I enjoy writing plays most. I haven't written a radio play in a while and I don't write short stories anymore because the process of submitting them depressed me. I really enjoy revising novels, but drafting them can be a pain.

People don’t fear the wind until it fells a tree. Then, they say it’s too much.

I never wanted to be a writer; I just had stories I wanted to share so I learnt how to write and kept going. If I could sing or paint, I would.

For all forms, writing dialogue is almost like writing music. I pay close attention to rhythms and tones.

At some point, practicality requires that you reach out to people in the business. You have to take care of business if you value your work.
