Quote

I don't very often read novels.

It's a lot to expect of yourself, to write a novel in a year. Anyway, you don't write a novel, you write a scene, and then another scene.

I seem to produce a novel approximately once every three years.

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

I don't write constantly; it's two serials and a novel a year.

I'm never doing a long novel again, truly.

With two books a year, I don't have time for writer's block.

I just realized quite early on that I'm not going to be the type who can write a novel every two years. I think you need to feel an urgency about the act. Otherwise, when you read it, you feel no urgency, either. So I don't write unless I really feel I need to, and that's a luxury.

I'm not a writer who refuses to talk about a book until I've finished.

I've never actually even contemplated writing a book or having a book.
