The Act Does Not Create

I Don't Ever Write With A Particular Audience In Mind. I Just Write Books That Please Me.

An Emotion Is A Thought, Yes, An Idea, But It Is Also A Sensation, An Ache In Your Body. Desire, Love, Hate, Fear, Repulsion - You Feel These Things In Your Muscle And Bones, Not Just In Your Mind.

When I Was 30 Or So - By That Time I Had Become An Assistant D.a. - I Decided I Would Try To Write A Novel. To Be Clear: I Did Not Decide To Become A Novelist. Honestly, It Never Crossed My Mind That I Could Actually Earn A Living As A Professional Novelist.

I Love Sports, As All Bostonians Seem To. I Love Books And Movies, As All Writers Seem To.

There Is No Absolute Beginning To Any Story, After All. There Is Only The Moment You Begin Watching.
