Every time I finish a book, I forget everything I learned writing it - the information just disappears out of my head.

When I write I try as far as possible to forget I'm writing it at all. I tell it down onto the page, as if I'm telling it to one person only, my best friend.

I write slowly and get distracted a lot.

Writing has been so much a part of my life that I'm really quite annoyed that I can't do as much as I used to.

I don't read much when I'm working. When I'm finished work, I don't want a thing to do with words.

Especially if you're endeavouring daily to write your own books, you read with a degree of - well, it's hard to forget you're a writer when you're reading.

When I try to concentrate, I really enjoy writing.

It usually helps me write by reading - somehow the reading gear in your head turns the writing gear.

When things are going well, I can't write fast enough to keep up with my mind. Writing walks, speech runs and talk flies. Other times, though, it's like fishing.

Unless I'm really uneasy with what I'm writing, I lose interest very quickly.
