"When you're finally in it—this is the part I really like—the writing just writes itself, it really does, and you're eager to get back to the work. It's like reading a good book except you're writing it."
"I'm just trying to be honest, as honest as I can. If I were trying to write with the taste of the multitudes in mind, I'm afraid I'd never be able to finish anything."
"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?'"
"Hopefully there's an intersection between what you're good at, what you enjoy [and] what readers want. If you can meet all of those things, then you're in that sweet spot, because you're doing what you love, you're doing what you're good at, and you're doing what people want to buy."
"I just write what I like."
"We often have to write three hundred pages before our soul discloses to us what it is that was waiting to be discovered."
