Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't write a novel every two years.
I don't feel as though I have to prove anything to anybody.
Novel-writing is a bit like deception. You lie as little as you possibly can. That's the way I do it, anyway.
I wasn't sitting around years ago thinking, 'I really want to write a novel.'
You have to have heart's passion to write a novel.
You don't write a book to show off.
I came to the conclusion that I am not a fiction writer.
The good thing about writing a novel is that you're creating an imaginary world and can take a break when you need to.
I have written every one of my novels to convince somebody of something.
