When I start to write, I don't have any plan at all. I just wait for the story to come.

If the story wasn't overly long, I'd type it out. And I'd carry it around with me for a week and jot notes on it, and then I'd throw it away and do another one.

When I sit down to write, I don't think about writing about an idea or a given message. I just try to write a story which is hard enough.

I plan less and less. It's a great benefit of writing lots, that you get good at holding long narratives in your head like a virtual space.

I never plan my novels because if I know what is going to happen, it bores me rigid. I let the story tell itself.

Write the kind of story you would like to read. People will give you all sorts of advice about writing, but if you are not writing something you like, no one else will like it either.

Writing is a process of discovering. I could never outline a narrative; that just sounds boring. There's no joy of discovery in what you're doing if that's your strategy.

I wouldn't like to just do one story or one type of stories all the time.

I'm not the sort of writer who can plan out things. Mostly I have no idea where I'm going.
