As a writer, there are times when you have something to say, and yet no particular 'hook' upon which to hang the missive you are burning to release.

Character design, like story design, requires a hook to grab the reader's attention.

It's kind of like a challenge to myself to be able to hear somebody else's hook and kind of interpret the words. Because my own hooks, I already know what I mean when I write them.

I can't write; I don't think I'm even particularly good at telling a writer what's good or what's missing. So, actually having someone who can do that is a godsend.

A writer who isn't writing is asking for trouble.

You can tell when a writer moves out of a place of struggle and into a place of comfort, and it's always a bad thing.

I'm a person who is always trying to write in a different vein.

I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.

On the other hand, I mean, that is what writers have always been supposed to do, was to rely on their own devices and to - I mean, writing is a lonely business.
