Quote

If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.

I felt like I could write about quiet, self-contained moments and also about those moments when the world rushes in again.

Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.

At night I can write for hours.

We writers are shy, nocturnal creatures. Push us into the light and the light blinds us.

I get up every morning early, when the sky is red, and write for 10 hours.

I write best late at night, when everyone in the house has gone to bed. There's something magical about that late night silence that appeals to me.

For me, when I 'discover' a story, there is a feeling of buoyancy and clarity, perhaps similar to early morning out on a prairie highway, when darkness lifts and reveals the outline of farmhouses and copses of trees in the distance.

I'm most happy when I am writing at night, because I need space and time to write.
