I now have to find a reason to write, every single day.

The Internet offers an interesting combination of advertising and community - by participating in the community you can become an advertisement for yourself.

I found college useful for a lot of other reasons. It exposed me to a great many influences I wouldn't otherwise have encountered, and gave me a lot of time with some very intelligent people whose thoughts are still with me.

Try to meet as many authors, agents, and editors as you can.

I can't speak for the other authors, but what I hoped to achieve was to illuminate certain corners of the Lucas universe that hadn't yet been explored.

I was pretty much grown-up by the time I attended school in Britain - or as grown-up as I'll ever get.

I'm not afraid of werewolves or vampires or haunted hotels, I'm afraid of what real human beings to do other real human beings.
