Back the Hell Off
"You have to tell your mind to back the hell off. It's another place in yourself entirely where you must look to create a work of art."
Bob and Weave
"As a writer, it's like you're a fighter in the ring. You have to bob and weave and juke and move and change direction and tactics all the time based on what your instincts are telling you about what's happening on the page."
Spontaneity Is the Art
"If something happens in those spontaneous moments of writing that's different than my outline, I go with the spontaneity, and change the outline to suit it. Because the spontaneity, that's the art. My intentions are the craft, right? That's what I'm trying to do. But what is being done is where the magic is."
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."
