Writer

If vampires were a separate species, and they were into genetic engineering, what would they engineer for?

Fantasy is totally wide open; all you really have to do is follow the rules you've set. But if you're writing about science, you have to first learn what you're writing about.

I had novels to write, so I wrote them.

I don't write about good and evil with this enormous dichotomy. I write about people. I write about people doing the kinds of things that people do.

And I have this little litany of things they can do. And the first one, of course, is to write - every day, no excuses. It's so easy to make excuses. Even professional writers have days when they'd rather clean the toilet than do the writing.

I used to give up writing like some people would give up smoking.
