dream dark trying
Readers respond to every genre intensely, if it's a genre that appeals to them. Again, who can say why anyone enjoys horror and dark fantasy? If I can't answer the question for myself, I wouldn't dream of trying to answer it for others
wonder discouraged could-have-been
If I'd been easily discouraged, I could have been a one-hit wonder
book writing worry
I try not to worry about rewriting books that worked well the first time. I'm too busy writing new books to worry about things that are already in print
real character giving
My characters surprise me constantly. My characters are like my friends - I can give them advice, but they don't have to take it. If your characters are real, then they surprise you, just like real people
book writing pages
I am a very linear thinker, so I write beginning to end. I write hundreds of pages per book that never make it into print
writing people feels
If people would write exactly what I wanted to read I wouldn't feel so compelled to write myself
people fiction folks
Some people just don't seem to understand the concept of fiction. It is fiction; it ain't true, folks
writing successful trying
Now that I'm being very successful, publishers are trying to mainstream me, but I'm unabashedly genre. It's what I like to read, what I like to write
evil trying balance
Everyone spends their lives trying to balance their world between good and evil.
culture monsters mythology
Most of the monsters... are based on some sort of mythology. Every culture and even some geographical areas have monsters and mythology that is their own.
interest my-own
I'm more influenced by my own interests than anyone else's. Writers have to entertain themselves, or they can't entertain anyone else
thinking vampire watches
I think that my vampires in general were influenced by my being allowed to watch the Hammer vampire films. Vampire Circus, also shown as Circus of Fear, was one of those movies
sex
More sex. We must have more sex.
girl
I wasn't like most girls.
