I Don’t Think Writers Compete, I Think

I Have Fun Writing. I Don't Make It A Chore. I Don't Have To Struggle With It.

To Me, Writing Is The Most Fun. It's Not Always Fun, But Finally When You Make It Come Out The Way You Want, It's Then You Can Say, 'it's Fun, Boy.'

I Don't Believe In Writer's Block. I Don't Know What That Is. There Are Just Certain Little Areas That I Know I'm Going To Get Through. It's Just A Matter Of Finding A Way.

I Focus On Characters As Individuals With Attitudes And Write Each Scene From A Particular Character's Point Of View. That Way, Even Narrative Passages Take On The Character's Sound. I Don't Want The Reader To Be Aware Of Me, Writing.

I Get Letters. I Get Several A Week, I Think. A Lot Of People Want A Picture, A Lot Of People Just Want An Autograph.
