writing stories please
I started writing to please myself, a story I would like to read, and that is still true.
writing influence i-can
I can't tell you any more than any other writer can tell you why they write, and I don't know what my influences are.
writing want stories
I'm just writing a story that I want to read.
book writing challenges
Each book has been different and has been challenging in its own way to write.
moving character writing
I probably read 100 times more than I write, but that way when I move my characters through it, I know.
book writing people
I don't write for publishers, certainly not for critics, and not for readers, But I am delighted that so many people have found my books enjoyable and want to continue to read them.
writing ideas stories
From the beginning, when I first got an idea for a story and wondered if I could write it, it has always been the story that has driven me.
writing historical fiction
I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it.
writing way sometimes
Life sometimes gets in the way of writing.
reading character writing
You learn to write by writing, and by reading and thinking about how writers have created their characters and invented their stories. If you are not a reader, don't even think about being a writer.
aside positive primarily readers
Aside from sales, the letters from readers have been primarily positive.
began feeds series
From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it.
men too-much usual
Again Creb grunted. It was the usual noncommittal comment used by men when responding to a woman. It carried only enough meaning to indicate the woman had been understood, without acknowledging too much significance in what she said.
thinking two fiction
Of the two, I would think of my work as closer to Science Fiction than Fantasy.
