Quote

I do like the research part of writing, I must admit.

I enjoy research; in fact research is so engaging that it would be easy to go on for years, and never write the novel at all.

I love research. Sometimes I think writing novels is just an excuse to allow myself this leisurely time of getting to know a period and reading its books and watching its films. I see it as a real treat.

I love research so much that I do an enormous amount; it helps put off the moment of starting to write the story.

Research is not an obstacle, something to be frightened of. It can be one of the real joys of writing.

To do the writing, I have to have time to do research.

The more research you do, the more at ease you are in the world you're writing about. It doesn't encumber you, it makes you free.

Research for fiction is a funny thing: you go looking for one piece of information, and find something altogether different.

I enjoy the research and love actually creating the words. There's not too much I find a drudge when it comes to writing.

I'm big on research. I love research, so I tend to do a lot of reading.
