write the first draft very quickly
"I try to write the first draft very quickly. I don't write the end. I don't write the last quarter. So I write my draft. And then ... my next draft is usually cleaning it up and seeing what's there: 'What do we have here?'"
dream it through
"You're much closer to the dreaming side of your mind when you write. Dream, dream, dream it through. Write more with your body and less with your head. Don't think a story through, don't think it out. The danger of thinking it through is that most of us are not smart enough to do it that way. We have to go one moment at a time."
The First Line Comes and I Start
"I know nothing at all. Nothing. The first line comes and I start. I always thought that I began with something talking to me, but I realized it's not true. I begin by seeing something and then it's translated into a voice talking to me and then I follow it and see where it will go."
