We need to stay together, to spread the truth like religion. It's a lonely, scary road, and we've got to walk it together.

Sometimes a manuscript is like bread dough. You have to abuse it.

Sadly I don't work well under restrictions. I need to forget the world and its rules and laws in order to enter the dreamlike flow of the fictional world. So I may be in some bad trouble.

When I'm not writing, I do a lot of research reading on the shape of civilization. Fiction can be a lot of different things... but I feel like it's my job to write about the way things are.

I like starting projects in January. That's the best time to start something. It's so inward.

I love a big book, but it's what most people like which makes commerce sing.
