I write in the afternoon, from about 12 until 6 or 7. I use an upstairs room as my office. Once I get going I keep at it, and it usually takes about six months from the first blank screen until 'The End.' ↗

I like writing a lot more than I used to. I used to find it scary but now I've got used to it once it gets going. I used to find it hard to start. Fear of the blank page. The first thing you write down won't bear any relation to what's in your head and that's always disappointing. ↗

A blanket could be twirled in the air, like a new idea in your mind, and then either discarded or folded up like a wearable memory.

I am the burrito wrapped up in a blanket. Eat my warmth.
