Any writer who gives a reader a pleasurable experience is doing every other writer a favor because it will make the reader want to read other books. I am all for it.

Since I am first of all a character writer, that character's emotions are as vivid to me as my own. I always begin with an emotion after I have established a character in my mind. I feel what they feel. I guess that is why it comes across so strongly.

I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.

I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.

I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.

I am not a consecutive writer.
