I would travel to Cannery Row and drink beer with Doc and Suzy
Robert Schwab
I like Doc and Suzy from Steinbeck’s Sweet Thursday. That is my favorite novel, largely because I think it is the sweetest love story I’ve ever read. I like the improbability of these two outcasts coming together, and the way love affects the way they behave-quite out of character for each of them. The effect of their coming together on the community of misfits is touching, and the ending is a wonderful affirmation of the power and hope of love.

I don't, really. I am just committed to writing, and if you sit down and begin to write, ideas will emerge and following an uncharted path is one of the great pleasures of writing.
Robert Schwab
I actually thought of a title first this time, and then built a story around the title, which reflects a theme that I became very interested in.

I just finished my second novel and am trying to find a publisher. I am submitting and working on a marketing plan for the book.

Don't get too caught up in being a writer. Write - unless you do that, you aren't a writer, and there are many people more interested in being a writer than in writing.
Robert Schwab
I sit down and write everyday, at the same time. Some days I write very little, some days a lot, but the discipline or habit of doing it every day keeps me moving forward. I don't always write well, but I always write.
