Reading taught me how to write.

I've always kind of wrote when I wanted to. Once I get the idea in my head and get it outlined out, I usually just sit and write until it's done.

I went to college, but I learned to write by reading - and writing.

I started writing as soon as I started reading.

I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.

Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.

I think the cardinal rule of learning to write is learning to read first. I learned to write by learning to read.

I have learned many things in the 30 years that I have been writing.

My mother taught me how to write.

I write in a pretty straightforward way. I kind of sit down at page one and start writing.
