To come up with the ending to a story and then work backwards is like tying your shoe with one hand only.

We see no reason why we're not going to be able to work out contractual issues,

I write when the urge hits me, getting the words down as fast as I can type and then I step back from what I just wrote and start a dialectical process where I begin challenging my own writing.

I do not write by any set time schedule. I realize there are many writers who follow a daily regime where they arise at 6:00 a.m., do some sort of exercise, eat breakfast and then sit down and produce words for a three to four hour period.

Just that maybe … maybe you don’t want to change the story, because you don’t know what a different ending holds.

If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him.
