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

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

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.

Mostly, research is much more fun than the actual writing.

I really enjoy researching, and for almost every piece, I research enough to write a book.

I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.

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 despise writing in general, but yeah, I love writing the stuff that I direct.

I sometimes wonder why I do so much research - I look at other successful writers, and I think it must just be so relaxing to write about flying horses or something, but I have to make it plausible.

I'm finding writing very fascinating.
