Love Makes You Blind To

A Man's Bookcase Will Tell You Everything You'll Ever Need To Know About Him

This Is All You Have To Do. Sit Down Once A Day To The Novel And Start Working Without Internal Criticism, Without Debilitating Expectations, Without The Need To Look At Your Words As If They Were Already Printed And Bound. The Beginning Is Only A Draft. Drafts Are Imperfect By Definition.

The Love Of Writing Comes At A Very Early Age. For Me, For Instance, Comic Books So Affected Me. And A Lot Of People Who Come Up To Me And Start Talking About Writing, When I Start Talking To Them About The "fantastic Four," They Look At Me Aghast. They Say, "'the Fantastic Four?' That's Not Literature." I Say, "yeah, But It Was When I Was 11 Years Old." This Was Literature.

My Job Is Writing For People To Enjoy And Then Writing About A Broader And A Deeper World.

... We Must Remember That There's More Than One Story And Plot In Every Novel. There Are At Least As Many Stories As There Are Main Characters, And Each Of These Stories Has To Have Multiple Plots To Keep It Going - Blood And Bone, Nerve And Tissue, Forgotten Longing And Unknown Events.
