To Me, A Book Is

My Most Important Rule Is One That Sums Up The 10: If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It.

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.

Never Use A Verb Other Than ‘said’ To Carry Dialogue.

Really, When I Write A Book I'm The Only One I Have To Please. That's The Beauty Of Writing A Book Instead Of A Screenplay.

If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It.
