I write a book over a period of months or years, and when I'm done with it, usually another year goes by before I see it in print. It's hard to be patient and wait
Sometimes I can spend as long revising a manuscript as I spent writing it in the first place.
When writing isn't going well-then the bad thing about being a writer is that I also have the freedom and flexibility to do something badly, and no one else can fix it for me.
I started trying to write when I was in second or third grade.
