I Lost My Second Marriage

I Was Always Kind Of Florid. And Full Of Rhetoric. That Was My Flaw. My Whole Time Writing, I've Had To Work Against That Because It Can Be A Wrecking Posture.

I Lost My Second Marriage Because Of Drinking, And I Loved The Woman Very Much. But I Thought I Needed Booze To Write. I'm Glad I Was Disabused.

You Need To See A Bit Of Hell Now And Then. That, And Great Joy.

I Don't Really Care About Plot; I Want To Have A Page-turner In A Different Kind Of Way.

I Thought I Was Writing For A Fairly Hip, Intelligent Crowd; I Just Thought There Were More Of Them Out There. But They're Not. They're Not Out There Waiting. They're Not Gonna Use Their Intelligence On Your Book.
