Quote

I used to write fiction, non-fiction, fiction, non-fiction and have a clear pattern because I'd need a break from one style when going into the next book.

But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.

I find that nonfiction writers are the likeliest to turn out interesting novels.

I never really considered writing something that was nonfiction.

It may be important to write a book that doesn't come up to what I would like to have rather than to write no book at all.

I want prose fiction to be recognized as that, and I'm not interested in writing as it becomes more personal.

I write novellas because I don't like loose sprawling prose.

Most books aren't pure nonfiction or fiction.

The bane of my existence is the synopses that publishers request for a new novel or series. That's where I'm really producing fiction - my final book never ends up looking like the synopsis.
