I don’t give advice, because I always made my own mistakes and would only be adding further chaos to the situation.
I like to be surprised. Fresh implications and plot twists erupt as a story unfolds. Characters develop backgrounds, adding depth and feeling. Writing feels like exploring.

It’s to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that’s my method.

Character drives the story, and the story drives the book. I don’t think about where the action should go, or how much there should be, until it’s required by the characters.

My training was that you fill in the canvas where it needs colour and polishing. You start with the words on the first night and keep adding bits of business.
