When I'm writing a novel, I'm usually just trying to write about things that are interesting to me.
'Made it as a writer'? I'm still wondering if I've made it as a writer. I've made it as a published writer of the type of SF that I want to write and read, but I'm still waiting for that big breakthrough.
I tend not to think about the reading public at all, or the business, when I'm writing.
You just don't want to push people into doing things that they really don't want to do. I don't think it's going to produce much.
When times are down, keep believing, keep working hard, and things will pick up.
If you're writing a novel, you're in a room for three or four years. There's not much coming in from the outside.
I was well indulged as a child by my relentlessly self-improving, working class parents to express myself.
I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.
I'd pretty much given up hope of being published, so I just wrote the book I wanted to read.
