My novels are all ideas.

I have great ideas, but the follow through is always really difficult for me. As my kid gets a little bit older, if I feel like I have a little bit more time on my hands, I'd like to get more into developing ideas and writing things.

Before you can write a novel you have to have a number of ideas that come together. One idea is not enough.

I have ideas that I will probably never write now.

I have more ideas than I'll ever be able to write in five lifetimes.

I've got more ideas for books than I'll ever be able to use in my lifetime. I'm very fortunate like that.

A lot of my ideas for books come from newspaper articles. But I don't like to be actively looking for ideas.

Getting an idea for a book is not the problem, but you need 300 ideas - an idea a page.

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

My problem is never ideas. I've got more than I'll ever have time to write. It's all about how many I can get to, and which ones readers want to see the most.
