writing ideas news
I do want to write about Jane Whitefield again, but only when I have a good enough idea - something I've figured out about her that's news and that's worth a reader's time.
writing fiction grades
I had been writing fiction since I was in eighth grade, because I loved it.
jobs writing years
I held a variety of jobs - most notably ten years working in universities - and kept on writing.
character writing ideas
If I don't have a project going, I sit down and begin to write something - a character sketch, a monologue, a description of some sight, or even just a list of ideas.
book writing i-can
When I write a book, I'm making it the best book I can.
character writing looks
What I look for in any character, good or bad, is whether I can hear him speak. If I can imagine him that clearly, then I can write about him.
book writing thinking
It's important, I think, for a writer of fiction to maintain an awareness of the pace and shape of the book as he's writing it. That is, he should be making an object, not chattering.
writing listening funny-travel
There are days when I intentionally don't write. For instance, I never write when I'm traveling, because travel is a situation where I can learn more by looking and listening than by working.
appealed clear impressed matter painting saw style subject uses
I was very impressed with the paintings. The subject matter that she uses is very clear and her style of painting that I saw was something that really appealed to me.
available buying good great job people program putting together
I think we did a great job of putting together a program that would have made good e-books available had people been buying e-books in any real numbers.
series
It was a lot of fun, and writing a series is comfortable. It's almost like having a secure job.
hope
I do hope to bring Jane Whitefield back before too long.
although appeared march proud published review until
I'm proud of Nightlife. Although it won't be published until March 2006, the first review just appeared in Publishers' Weekly, and it's very positive.
best faithfully producers reproduce responsibility
When producers make a film, their responsibility is to make the best film they can, not necessarily to faithfully reproduce my book.
