I Do Have Fun Writing,

These Are Rules I've Picked Up Along The Way To Help Me Remain Invisible When I'm Writing A Book, To Help Me Show Rather Than Tell What's Taking Place In The Story.

It's Like Seeing Someone For The First Time, And You Look At Each Other For A Few Seconds, And There's This Kind Of Recognition Like You Both Know Something. Next Moment The Person's Gone, And It's Too Late To Do Anything About It.

I Don't Have Any Of The Modern Stuff. I Don't Have E-mail. I Don't Have A Computer!

Try Not To Write The Parts That People Skip.

I Won't Read A Book That Starts With A Description Of The Weather. I Don't Read Books Over 300 Pages, Though I'll Make An Exception For Don Delillo.
