Quote

Unless I'm really uneasy with what I'm writing, I lose interest very quickly.

I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.

Writing has been so much a part of my life that I'm really quite annoyed that I can't do as much as I used to.

I don't read much when I'm working. When I'm finished work, I don't want a thing to do with words.

I go through periods of not writing. Until there's something I can't find in the world that I need, so I write.

Only occasionally do I read new fiction. Most of my reading is heavily dictated by what I'm writing at the time.

I often turn to my books when my own writing is having a hard time.

I read what I write over and over and make corrections and improvements, until I reach the conclusion that the material deserves to stand on its own.

I don't really read as much as I used to. A lot of what I was looking for as an escape I find in writing. And the other thing is that I don't want to get into someone else's language when I'm working.
