I feel like I learn in every project.

I try mainly to just focus on character and what my character's point of view is, with each person, and try to figure out story.

I try to find more interesting material with each project I do.

I always imagined that I would learn something each time that I would take to a new project, then I realized that each new project poses a completely different challenge.

I've learned things about the craft of writing and about structuring a book and about character development and so on that I've just learned on the fly.

I've just always loved really good projects. The things that draw me into a new project have very little to do with genre and have more to do with the characters I'll be playing, the people I'll get to work with and things like that.

As much as I can and am able to, with the projects that are presented to me, I try to just really choose things that are challenging and are something I haven't tackled before.

For me, when I start a novel, I only have a general sense of what I am going to do - usually three or four big scenes or something to which I can really respond emotionally.

I like what I do, and a lot of these projects have really interesting material and interesting people to work with. I feel lucky.
