Quote

Writing is an extremely rewarding and humbling process, and I've learned to go with it, that even if it feels absolutely impossible, I will find a way to tell the next story.

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.

Writing is hard work. Generating stories that catch people's attention and holding it are very difficult.

I'm a novelist, so I can't write about ideas unless they're attached to people.

When I am writing anything in general, I just want to tell the story that exists in my head; I don't try to write a parable or make a point.

My idea of writing is of unflinching and continual effort, somehow trying to find the right words until you reach a point where you can make no further progress and you either have something or you don't.

Writing is something that's great because you get to write every thought that's on your mind; you take your time.

You can't write just anything. Your story needs structure.

Writing is such a weird emotional thing. It's hard. If you sit down with a plan to write something, it's going to be harder.

Writing is a process of discovering. I could never outline a narrative; that just sounds boring. There's no joy of discovery in what you're doing if that's your strategy.
