You must understand that when you are writing a novel you are not making anything up. It's all there and you just have to find it.
I'm doing one of three things: I'm writing. I'm staring out the window. Or I'm writhing on the floor.
Let me tell you about my day. I get up at 8 o'clock in the morning. At 8:30 am, I leave the house and I arrive at my office at 8:37. I stay in the office until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I get in my Porsche and I'm home at 2:03 because the one-way streets make it faster for me to drive. And between 8:36 am and 2 pm, I'm doing one of three things: I'm writing. I'm staring out the window. Or I'm writhing on the floor.
Writing novels is the hardest thing I've ever done, including digging irrigation ditches.
