Sit down and write. After tens years of writing fiction, you'll finally find your voice. If you can't endure this pain, then writing is not for you.

I don't mind being alone. I like listening to music while I write. Creating a real character is magic. Once you have real characters they start talking and acting on their own and you only need to keep up page after page.

I'm only creative for about 1000 words a day or 4 hours. I try not to break records and write 4000 words a day. My best writing is when I search for a scene. It may take all day to get the momentum, but once I'm there I don't stop for anything until a thousand words are produced.
