Let's face it, any first-words-on-paper are likely to be substantially edited, as it is. In the case of writer's block occuring in a work-in-progress, sometime's it is best to take a break—a walk, clean the kitchen, play guitar—anything to clear your mind. Other times, though, I just continue to bang my head against it until it comes. There is no easy way out.(less)

In cinema or the so-called "plastic arts," (my previous experience) you have so many logistical and financial concerns en route to seeing a work through to conclusion. Writing a novel, the polished words on a page constitutes the work. It is sharing that work with others on a large scale that is the tricky part. I love being a fiction writer because I love spending time in my character's worlds.(less)

“The wicked people were gone, but fear remained.Fear always remains. A man may destroy everything within himself, love and hate and belief, and even doubt; but as long as he clings to life the cannot destroy fear: the fear, subtle, indestructible, and terrible, that pervades his being; that tinges his thoughts; that lurks in his heart; what watches on his lips the struggle of his last breath.”
