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.

Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.

I think I'm drawn to writing about something which feels intense and important.

If you like a story that's totally different and won't know which way it's going... where it's go ing to end up and which way it's going to take you, then I think my work fits the bill.

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

Literature at its fullest takes human nature as its theme. That's the kind of writing that interests me.

Write because you love the work, not because of what might come from it. The journey is the purpose. Very Zen-like, I know, but honest to God it's the truth. And I have never had to deal with writer's block. Knock on wood.

I feel like you just need to keep writing until the writing itself just begins to take shape.

Good writing is good writing, and I'm so happy when I read it.

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.
