Quote

I really don't know what I am going to do in terms of what a book is going to be about until I actually start writing it!

I've started lots of books, but it's hard for me to finish them.

Every time I write a new book, I want to push myself to try something different.

I start each book when it's ready and never before.

But I've been at writing long enough now to know that every three or four books I have to start a new direction.

Routinely, when I finish a book, I think 'What will I do? Where will I get an idea?' And a kind of low-level panic sets in.

I just write books, and I do it without any notion of what I should do or shouldn't do.

I've been at writing long enough now to know that every three or four books, I have to start a new direction.

While I'm writing, I'm also the first reader, and I want to write a book where I'm excited about what happens next.

I never want to deal with a book once I'm finished writing.
