I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.

   

A writer writes. Period. No matter if someone is buying your work or not.

   

People who were more concerned with themselves and looking good to their readers then they were with the characters sacrificed a series for the sake of a story.

   

Unfortunately, there are writers whose only concern is how good they could make themselves look on a title.

   

The bottom line always remains the same: What is the basic humanity of the character? How do I make them resonate with the reader?

   

I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.

   

Sometimes you're not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I've written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.

   

When I'm my own editor, there's very little difference between the first draft and the final. I write what feels right to begin with. I rarely make any major changes.

   

If a story isn't working, I'm simply unable to finish it. That's what usually tells me something is wrong.

I've always thought of myself as an organic writer, rather than a cerebral one. I feel my way along as I go, hoping I'll get to the place I intend to reach.

   

I realized the only thing I owed my audience was my own judgment and my own best effort.

   

I try not to violate what came before me and to leave lots of wiggle room for those who will follow.

   

I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.
