It takes a lot of adrenaline and fear to make me actually write.

Once I start writing, I can't stop.

For me, most of the anxiety and difficulty of writing takes place in the act of not writing. It's the procrastination, the thinking about writing that's difficult.

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

When things are going well, I can't write fast enough to keep up with my mind. Writing walks, speech runs and talk flies. Other times, though, it's like fishing.

I often feel like not writing! Sometimes I overcome it by just sitting there until writing happens. Sometimes I don't write, because books often need periods of percolation.

Writing is a very calming thing for me.

I write slowly and get distracted a lot.
