I Can't Think Of Anything

I Became A Full-time Writer In 1993 And Have Been Very Happy, Insofar As Anybody Is, Since.

One Of The Reasons I Write Is I Like Being Surprised

Having Kids Is Very Difficult To Do On Your Own, And It's Really Crazy Difficult To Think You're Doing It As A Team And To Find Out That You're Not Actually Part Of A Team.

You Write A Book And You Finish The Book. That's Your Job Done, Right? You Win The Booker And You Have A Whole New Job. You Have To Be The Thing, Right? So Instead Of Writing The Story, You Somehow Are The Story. And That I Found That Sort Of Terrible.

If You Try To Control It Too Much, The Book Is Dead. You Have To Let It Fall Apart Quite Early On And Let It Start Doing Its Own Thing. And That Takes Nerve, Not To Panic That The Book You Were Going To Write Is Not The Book You Will Have At The End Of The Day.
