On Writing

“I am never happy with any manuscript I have ever turned in. What counts for me is if I’m not mortified by what gets published. Even in the final book, there will be errors, and it just kills me that they’ll be there until the reprint; hopefully I’m alive when that happens. On the other hand, if I kept a book until I thought it was perfect, it would never be published.”
