Quote

You lie awake at 3 in the morning thinking of story ideas. You're online at 8 a.m. on a Sunday or midnight on a Wednesday. It's a job that you never push aside.

When I write, I make decent money doing it, but I don't wake up dreaming about writing.

I'm terrified of writing at night, for then I can't sleep. So I start slowly, slowly writing in the morning and go on into the late afternoon.

I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.

And now, I'm a best selling author, a different sort of fairy tale that I still sometimes wonder when I'll wake up from.

For the first-time novelist you've got to get up at 5:30 in the morning and write until 7, make breakfast and go to work. Or, come home and work for an hour. Everybody has an hour in their day somewhere.

I usually don't write at night, but there are times where I wake up at 3 in the morning and write all night.

I don't believe in writing at night because it comes too easily. When I read it in the morning it's not good. I need daylight to begin. Between nine and ten o'clock I have a long breakfast with reading and music.
