Quote

I can't write without a reader. It's precisely like a kiss - you can't do it alone.

I write books I'd enjoy reading, I'm the reader standing behind my shoulder.

Writing never came naturally and I still have to force my hand to do it.

I think there is only one way to write fiction - alone, in a room, without interruption or any distraction.

When it comes time to write the book itself I'll shut the lights out, picture the scene I'm about to write then close my eyes and go at it. Yes, I can touch type.

I never think at all when I write. Nobody can do two things at the same time and do them both well.

I think with every writer there are two people there.

However great a man's natural talent may be, the act of writing cannot be learned all at once.

Humans are very complex; I definitely have a new respect for authors that are able to write books nonstop. It's an incredible talent.
