Before I Write A Novel,

If There's Anything Trollope Novels Always Take Seriously, It Is Money - How It Flows From One Character To Another, How It Is Managed, Who Has It, Who Deserves It, And What It Means To A Character, Male Or Female.

With Any Novel That You Begin, You Can't Foresee How Difficult Or Easy It's Going To Be, And You Can't Really Prepare Yourself. You Just Have A Take It One Step At A Time And Know That It's All Right To Keep Going - You Can Always Fix It.

There Is A Sociology Of Horses, As Well As A Psychology. It Is Most Evident In The World Of Horse Racing, Where Many Horses Are Gathered Together, Where Year After Year, Decade After Decade, They Do The Same, Rather Simple Thing - Run In Races And Try To Win.

Art Doesn't Exist If You Just Do What You're Told. It Only Exists As An Exercise Of Individual Taste And Freedom.

Write Every Day, Just To Keep In The Habit, And Remember That Whatever You Have Written Is Neither As Good Nor As Bad As You Think It Is. Just Keep Going, And Tell Yourself That You Will Fix It Later.
