I would never write a sentence that didn't have a nice rhythm, or at least I wouldn't leave it to be published like that. It seems to me that prose mustn't be prosaic.
A very wise author once said that a writer writes for himself, and then publishes for money. I write for myself and publish just for the reader.
I tend to plan as I write. And I want to leave myself open and the character open to keep on going until it seems to be the time to stop.
When I write, I tend to be quite cut off from the world. At that point of time, I'm not thinking about editors, publishers or readers. I write the story the way it comes to me.
There's no point regretting things. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Life's too short to worry about things I've said.
The thing I would hate myself for the most or regret the most is if I did not push myself to maximize my potential and my abilities.
I used to sit home with my computer and write. After the Newbery, I probably spend more than half my time on the road.
It's just hard not to listen to TV: it's spent so much more time raising us than parents have.
Obviously I've spent most of my working life with men and they have this way of operating which seems a bit alien to me.
