Quote

I do a lot of brainstorming with my editors.

I like hearing other writers just about the way they approach writing. It gives me energy for my own work. It's weird; I'm always taking notes about fiction when I'm listening to people talk about craft.

I personally read criticism - at least by writers I enjoy - to stimulate a conversation in my own mind, and I like to think that's the function I serve for others.

I love discussing the ins and outs of the collaborative nature of writing.

Allow the artist to finish the piece of work before you critique it.

Criticism is part of the creative man's journey, and I appreciate it.

There is the great creative part of it. The writing is the best part.

I've always kind of wrote when I wanted to. Once I get the idea in my head and get it outlined out, I usually just sit and write until it's done.

I critique myself way harder than anybody else could critique me.
