I Tell Beginning Readers To Read A Lot And Write A Lot. If You Want To Write A Book, Find A Subject That's Really Worth The Time And Effort You'll Put In.

At First, I Spend About Four Hours A Day Writing. Toward The End Of A Book, I Spend Up To 16 Hours A Day On It, Because All I Want To Do Is Make It Good And Get It Done.

I Know That To Write You Have To Have Stories You Want To Tell. You Have To Keep Your Mind Alive, And You Have To Work Hard.

When I Select A Topic, It's Usually A Commitment Of Two To Three Years Of My Life
