My Characters Have To Talk, Or They're

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.

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.

I Don't Judge In My Books. I Don't Have To Have The Antagonist Get Shot Or The Protagonist Win. It's Just How It Comes Out. I'm Just Telling A Story.

Everyone Has His Own Sound. I'm Not Going To Presume How To Tell Anybody How To Write.

I Do Have Fun Writing, And A Long Time Ago, I Told Myself, 'you Got To Have Fun At This, Or It'll Drive You Nuts.'
