Quote

I don't write a novel every two years.

I only did about one novel a year while I was working full time, but since 1993, I've averaged two and a half books a year.

I spend days with writers' block. It is a problem.

Typically, a book takes me about a year to write.

I can only write about two or three pages of fiction a day.

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

Writers are troubled about finding time to write and writer's block and publicizing books that aren't books yet. They agonize over how to write and what to write and what not to write.

I'm constantly battling writer's block; it usually takes me two hours to write anything.

For a very long time, I wrote a book a year, and was eager and willing to do it, to put bread on the table, to have my work out there. Now I must write a book every two years, and that's never enough time, either.

I can write a book in probably three months.
