I don't want to be taken to Bhutan and smell the flowers. I want to be told something I couldn't have been told any other way.
I get very involved in the internal logic of sentences.
To write you had to read so I backed into reading.
When I write a novel I start each morning by reading for 20 minutes.
I'm not one of those people who as a writer lets my characters tell me what they want to do or call to me or seek me. I go seeking for things, using them as an agent, really.
