My problem is never ideas. I've got more than I'll ever have time to write. It's all about how many I can get to, and which ones readers want to see the most.

People may get tired of hearing from me, but I don't think I'll ever run out of things that I want to write about.

I have reached the point where I know that as long as I sit down to write, the ideas will come. What they will be, I don't know.

If you're actually allowing your creative part to control your writing rather than a more commercial instinct or motive, then you'll find that all sorts of interesting things will bubble up to the surface.

Weirdly, often the more I write, the more ideas I have.

Every so often, I'll get an idea from a dream, but most of the time, ideas come to me while I'm toiling away at the keyboard just like every other writer.

I'm a novelist, so I can't write about ideas unless they're attached to people.

I want people to notice my writing abilities are real and that I'm not just stuck in one situation.

I seem to have a natural tendency to want to share my own observations and feelings with other people, and writing seems to be the way I'm best equipped to do that.

Once you research an idea, you begin to develop a perspective. Writing about anything in public, often in real time, has helped fashion my views.
