Don't try to write too much in a single session. One thousand words a day is quite enough. Stop after about four or five hours.

I write a thousand words a day.

I write a thousand words a day, and I always stop in the middle of a scene or thought, and it makes it easy to pick up on the next day.

I try not to think too much about where my voice comes from. I'm channeling characters and emotion to come up with beautiful words that tell a story.

I have a dread of sounding pretentious and try not to talk too much about what I do.
