If you are stymied as a writer, if it's just not coming together, then take the pressure off and don't feel that you need to write 1,000 words today; just write one really good sentence.

Nov 07, 2020

My personal opinion is that, if you're a professional writer, that you do have quotas. So every day I do try to write 800-1,200 words. I don't always achieve it, and the reality is that a lot of the words I write will end up on the cutting-room floor.

Goals

Day

Derive
|
Nov 07, 2020

I do have hobbies - I garden and bike, for example - but there's nothing in the world that gives me even a fraction of the pleasure that I derive from hanging around with my wife and daughter.

Need

I need complete silence when I write.

Family Member

Nov 07, 2020

People seem to read so much more nonfiction than fiction, and so it always gives me great pleasure to introduce a friend or family member to a novel I believe they'll cherish but might not otherwise have thought to pick up and read.

Nov 07, 2020

If you look at my personal library, you will notice that it ranges from Henry James to Steig Larsson, from Margaret Atwood to Max Hastings. There's Jane Austen and Tom Perrotta and volumes of letters from Civil War privates. It's pretty eclectic.

Matter

Nov 07, 2020

I loved all ghost stories. So I guess it was only a matter of time before I wrote one.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

Why a ghost story? Well, I love them. They're fun to read - and, yes, fun to write.

Grandparents
|
Nov 07, 2020

My grandparents, like many genocide survivors, took most of their stories to their graves.

Lot

First World

American

Nov 07, 2020

Mountain

Nov 07, 2020

I live here in Vermont, in a village of barely a thousand people halfway up the state's third highest mountain.

Culture
|
Nov 07, 2020

On the one hand, I'm this guy who grew up in the suburbs of New York City to very conservative parents, and the other side of me is fascinated by the peripheries of our culture, maybe because that's where our culture is most in transition and where there's likely to be conflict.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a novelist, there are three phone calls you never expect to receive in your lifetime because if you waited for them you would grow despairing - one calling from Stockholm with a Swedish accent, one from the NBA, and one from Oprah Winfrey.

Day
|
Nov 07, 2020

I answer two or three letters a day. I'm just not the he-has-a-secretary kind of guy.
