book talking potters
It feels like we're in a Harry Potter book talking about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
book writing thinking
Perfection is an unattainable goal. It isn't going to be perfect. Just get words down on paper, and when you stumble to what you think is the end of the book, you will have hundreds of pages of words that came out of your head. It may not be perfect, but it looks like a book.
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
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
sex book character
Two things I do well in books are sex and violence, but I don't want gratuitous sex or violence. The sex and violence are only as graphic as need be. And never included unless it furthers the plot or character development
dream fun book
I've lost track of the number of people who want to be writers but never actually write anything. Talking about writing, dreaming about writing, can be very fun, but it won't get a book written. You've got to write
book mean mystery
For me the Anita series is built like a mystery series, which means that as much as possible each book stands alone, so you have a mystery to solve from the beginning to the end of the book.
sex book character
When sex is necessary for the plot of a book, or a character development, then I don't shy away from it. Why should I?
book writing hours-in-the-day
So many wonderful books to write, and not enough hours in the day. An embarrassment of riches.
sorry book care
It was an hour before dawn. When all the Whos down in Whoville were asnooze in their beds without care. Sorry, wrong book. If I get to stay awake until dawn, I get just a tad slaphappy.
book writing secret
Here's the secret to finishing that first book. Don't rewrite as you go.
You give the reader a sense of a full meal.
growing
It was just you had to be strong, and if you weren't strong you're a victim and you're not going to make it. That was the reality when I was growing up.
philosophy moving fighting
You can't save everybody. In fact, there are days when I think you can't save anyone. Each person has to save himself first, then you can move in and help. I have found this philosophy does not work during a gun battle, or a knife fight either. Outside of that it works just fine.
