Subcategory: American Novelist
|  I expect that any day now, I will have said all I have to say; I'll have used up all my characters, and then I'll be free to get on with my real life. | | I never think about the actual process of writing. I suppose I have a superstition about examining it too closely. | | I consciously try to end my novels at a point where I won't have to wonder about my characters ever again. | | I do write long, long character notes - family background, history, details of appearance - much more than will ever appear in the novel. I think this is what lifts a book from that early calculated, artificial stage. | | For me, writing something down was the only road out. |
