I enjoy the research and love actually creating the words. There's not too much I find a drudge when it comes to writing.

To do the writing, I have to have time to do research.

I enjoy writing.

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 enjoy writing. I enjoy that kind of process.

I did a lot of my writing as though I was an academic, doing some piece of research as perfectly as possible.

I love the structural part of the writing process.
