If I waited till I felt like writing, I'd never write at all.
In real life I avoid all parties altogether, but on paper I can mingle with the best of them
My family can always tell when I'm well into a novel because the meals get very crummy.
I consciously try to end my novels at a point where I won't have to wonder about my characters ever again.
I've always enjoyed studying the small clues that indicate a particular class level.
For my own family, I would always choose the makeshift, surrogate family formed by various characters unrelated by blood.
I expect that any day now, I will have said all I have to say; I'll have used up all my characters, and then I'll be free to get on with my real life.
I'm too shy for personal appearances, and I've found out that anytime I talk about my writing, I can't do any writing for many weeks afterward.
When I read, I'm purely a reader
I forget a book as soon as I finish writing it, which is not always a good thing
My stories are never quite good enough
My writing day has grown shorter as I've aged, although it seems to produce the same number of pages.
I never think about the actual process of writing. I suppose I have a superstition about examining it too closely.
