Each novel is harder than its predecessor because I must work harder at not repeating myself. However, I enjoy the challenge. This is the greatest job in the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Each new book is a tremendous challenge.
Every single book is a challenge.
I try to create a challenge for myself in each book. And sometimes, believe me, I just kick myself afterwards, and say, 'Why on earth did you ever attempt this, you idiot!' But I'm always better for the experience.
I personally feel I still have so much to learn as a writer; each novel is better than the one before, just because I'm getting better at it.
My first novel was a challenge to myself. No one had an inkling that I was working on it.
Each book has been different and has been challenging in its own way to write.
The books are like children in that having written one doesn't make writing the next one any easier, because it's a new set of problems and a new set of challenges with each one, and having dealt with one before means that you now know how to do it.
Books are challenging and inspirational to me.
The unfolding of a story is both as exciting and as difficult for each and every novel I've written, regardless of time and place.
I think that whenever a book is not a challenge, I'm telling the wrong story.
