You never know how - or when - the idea for a book will appear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One thing I've learned now is that I should not say when a book is coming out until I'm sure I know.
Books are magic: you never know where they're going to end up.
It's one thing you aspire to: someday, you'll be able to write a book.
What you don't know would make a great book.
I can't even say I've begun yet, but I'm trying on the idea that there is a book in my future.
The fact is that in this day and age I don't think any novelist can assume that a book will get attention.
I'm not interested in creating a book that is read once and then placed on the shelf and forgotten.
Probably not needing to be published would give me more time to think about a book.
I don't think I could set a book in a place without knowing it really well.
I come up with a blurb at the beginning, but the book will always be completely different by the time it's finished. They say, 'Where's the book you were going to write?' And I say, 'Forget about it. It doesn't exist.'
