I know what I'm going to write for the next three years. It's frustrating, because if I get a good new idea, I have to put it aside.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am constantly thinking ahead to what I want to write about in the future, and when I'm done with one project, I give myself a little time and then start the next one.
I have ideas that I will probably never write now.
The whole excitement for writing anything is quite intense. And for a day or two, you think you've done everything extremely well. The problems start on the third day, and continues for the rest of your life.
I don't have any structured grand plan; I just intend to keep writing about the things that interest me-some of which change, some of which don't.
I never know what I'm going to write next, and when I think I do I usually turn out to be mistaken.
Most things I go through I have to write about.
If you can't think of what to write, tough luck; write anyway. If you can think of lots more when you've finished the three pages, don't write it; it'll be that much easier to get going next day.
But I've been at writing long enough now to know that every three or four books I have to start a new direction.
I have more ideas than I'll ever be able to write in five lifetimes.
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.
