Writers are too neurotic to ever be happy.
To do something for someone or something you loved-England or Shakespeare or a dog or the Hodbins or history-wasn't a sacrifice at all. Even if it cost you your freedom, your life, your youth.
And every place and time an author writes about is imaginary, from Oz to Raymond Chandler's L.A. to Dickens's London.
I have never written anything in one draft, not even a grocery list, although I have heard from friends that this is actually possible.
I learned everything I know about plot from Dame Agatha (Christie).
I watched the entire O.J. Simpson trial, and he was guilty.
