It's not a good idea to put your wife into a novel; not your latest wife anyway.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's funny - my wife is more jealous of my books than of other women because I'm always working and thinking about my books.
I don't think I'm interested in writing women's novels anymore.
I don't fully understand my wife's emotions - and I'm supposed to write an excellent female character and unravel the secret of women?
If I'm hanging around too much, my wife and kids say, 'Hey, why don't you go downstairs and start a new novel?'
Suddenly, the idea of writing a book was like coming home. I didn't tell anyone except my wife, Clare. I just began.
I wonder if novels work for women because they give us a safe place to talk about our ish.
Forget romantic fiction, a survey has found that most women would rather read a good book than go shopping, have sex, or sleep.
I don't want to marry anybody, but I certainly wouldn't want to marry a bad novelist.
Sometimes female characters start out as the wife or girlfriend, but then I realize, 'No, she's the book,' and she becomes a main character. I surrender the book to her.
I've given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages. You can't divorce a book.
