It's My Attempt To Remain Invisible, Not

If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It.

A Friend Of Mine Who Is In The Publishing Business Knew I Was Writing A Book, And He Said, 'have You Said Anything Yet About The Good Guy? Because I Know You Spend So Much Time With The Bad Guys.' Because They're Fun. So Then You Have To Make The Good Guy Fun, In Order To Compete. That's The Challenge.

I Think Any Writer Is A Fool If He Doesn't Do It For Money. There Needs To Be Some Kind Of Incentive In Addition To The Project. It All Goes Together. It's Fun To Sit There And Think Of Characters And Get Them Into Action, Then Be Paid For It. I Can't Believe It When Writers Tell Me 'i Don't Want To Show My Work To Anybody'.

My Most Important Rule Is One That Sums Up The 10: If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It.

At The Time I Begin Writing A Novel, The Last Thing I Want To Do Is Follow A Plot Outline. To Know Too Much At The Start Takes The Pleasure Out Of Discovering What The Book Is About.
