The View from the Cheap Seats

Writing Is Supposed to Be Fun

"What all writers need to be reminded of from time to time: that this thing we do, this thing we've devoted our lives to, is supposed to be fun."

The Most Important Lesson

"I think the most important lesson isn't necessarily to try and write a different book every time, or to try to brand yourself, [but] to write the kind of books you love to read.  Because first of all, you're doing something you love.  Second, you're working in your comfort zone, and third, even if this particular book doesn't work, it's going to be a lot more pleasant an experience."

Scripts are only one step

"The movie or TV show is the finished product; a screenplay is not.  Scripts are only one step in a complex chain of events leading to the final show or film."

Read Something Else

"The reader is free to stop reading, to close the book, to not buy the book.  That reader's frustrations are entirely valid, and that reader should read something else.  I just put it out there, and it is what it is."
