I Don't Believe In Writer's Block. I

If You Take A Few Days To Write An Outline, You're Just Making Up Scenes That You Think Will Work, That You Think Will Be Interesting. But As You Write It, Other Ideas Occur - Better Ideas That Have To Do With What You're Writing.

If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It. Or, If Proper Usage Gets In The Way, It May Have To Go. I Can't Allow What We Learned In English Composition To Disrupt The Sound And Rhythm Of The Narrative.

I'm Not Going To Write For Posterity. I'm Going To Write To Make A Buck.

My Purpose Is To Entertain And Please Myself. I Feel That If I Am Entertained, Then There Will Be Enough Other Readers Who Will Be Entertained, Too.

After 58 Years You'd Think Writing Would Get Easier. It Doesn't. If You're Lucky, You Become Harder To Please. That's All Right, It's Still A Pleasure.
