I shall be found with 'Indians' engraved on my brain when I am dead. A fire has been kindled within me, which will never go out.
I never thought I'd be a writer. I never thought I'd be able to read a book, let alone write one. So if books like this inspire kids to write, or even read a whole book, I think it's good.
I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.
I love writing and can't imagine not being able to do it. I want an easy life and if it had been difficult I wouldn't be doing it. I do admire writers who do it even though it costs them.
I will never be able to fix myself enough to the point I like myself, so I just jumped to the point where I said, 'I like myself as I am.'
It is normal for me to wake and find myself writing in the dark... or to be out of my tomb, caught in an unearthly world, alive with the images that haunt me.
I hate writing. I almost never write. I write against deadlines. And when I'm teaching, I'm focused on that.
When I set out to write crime fiction, I didn't think to myself, 'I'm going to model myself on Agatha Christie' or 'I am going to be a crime writer in the Christie tradition'.
I think of myself as a problem-solver. I want to go in and help the director and the writer to get the best they can out of the text they're working with.
