This was wonderful. I now had a sounding board and a travel partner on research trips ... She also served as a first pass set of eyes for new sections I was writing.
This year's winner ... exemplified the spirit of cooperation as essential to getting things done.
Both Rick and Bryan played enough to letter last year. Both have played well at times, but lack consistency.
It's funny, I don't know where I would place myself in the literary landscape. I really just write the book that I would want to read. I put on the blinders, and I really - it is, for me, that simple.
It's kind of a catch-22 now because since the 'Da Vinci Code,' I have access to places and people that I didn't have access to before, so that's a lot of fun for somebody like me, but I'm always trying to keep a secret. I don't want people to know what I'm writing about.

Writing is a solitary existence. Making a movie is controlled chaos - thousands of moving parts and people. Every decision is a compromise. If you're writing and you don't like how your character looks or talks, you just fix it. But in a movie, if there's something you don't like, that's tough.
There's a lot of stress... but once you get in the car, all that goes out the window.
