"It wasn't fantasy, but there was just something... like, I'd paint a still life but the colors wouldn't be quite like you'd expect them to be. That's the magic of it, and I love it—the world building that occurs on the canvas as it does on the page."

I never write to a plan
"I don't know quite how the story will unfold. I never write to a plan—but somehow, I know that I've 'seen' the entire book flash across my mind's eye like a speeded-up movie. My process is to slow it all down, to start at Chapter 1 and write down what I see, scene by scene."

"To allow yourself that space is, I think, the nub of creativity. It's also scary and risky, because you're building a house with no real blueprint, driving without a map, never quite sure where the hell you're going."
