Robert Wilson
The best thing about the profession of writing is that you do your own thing in your own time. Nobody tells you when you have to be in the office. You work when you want to work and take time off when it suits you. It doesn't mean total freedom. That doesn't exist. But in the kingdom of your mind you are the boss.
The best thing about doing the actual work are those days when it really clicks. You're barely aware of thinking, it just comes streaming out with no obstacles. My longest period of sustained creativity was the three months it took me to write the Francisco Falcon diaries for The Blind Man of Seville. I loved writing them and I wrote over 100,000 words and used a third of it.

Robert Wilson:
Just want to say thank you for your works. I've read all but one, The Company of Strangers. I went through chemo and radiation the first half of last year. I would often wake up around 2 or 3 in the morning and go read in our nook/den for a few hours. I read a few of your works at these times and during the day as well. I thoroughly enjoyed them. My condolences on your loss. When will C. Boxer show up, again?
