"It's gotta be with a great sense of fun! Writing is not a serious business. It's a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun at it. Ignore the authors who say, 'oh, my god, what work.' No, to hell with that! ...If it's work, stop it, and do something else."
"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."
"I wrote the kind of book I want to read. I was as authentically myself as I could be. That's tougher than some people would think."
"Anyone who writes knows that the most complicated thing is the rendering of events and characters in such a way that they are not realistic but real. In order for this to happen it is necessary to believe in the story one is working on."
"At some point, you have to say 'I'm the writer, it's my job to figure out where I'm going to go with it,' you know?"
"The joy of writing has propelled me from day to day and year to year."
