Quote

You're a reader as well as a writer, so write what you'd want to read.

The relationship between reader and writer is reciprocal in a way. We co-create each other. We are constantly emerging out of the relationship we have with others.

My purpose as a writer is to communicate in such a way as to challenge the thinking of readers and touch their hearts.

So I think a writer should write what he loves, the people he relates to.

I think that if you write what you love to read, that will be what your audience wants to read, too.

I write what I'd like to read and just hope that, along the way, others might like to read them, too.

My relationship with my readers is somewhat theatrical. One of the main things I try to do in my work is delight my readers.

Writers themselves benefit from all helpful information about their task and methods. Readers, in turn, can have both their understanding and appreciation of literature enhanced by information about the writer's work.

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