"When I go to literary conferences that are non-genre, if it's just a broad literary conference, and I say I write literary horror, they respond, 'I can't read that stuff.' I'm supposed to just say, 'I understand.' I met a writer who does historical British non-fiction, from a specific time period. If I'd said, 'I don't read anything before 1700,' I would be a jerk."

"Everyone works differently. I'm sure for new writers, it's frustrating to hear the answer to the 'How do you do it?' questions is that everyone works differently. But I also take comfort from that. You've got to find what works for you."
