“I am such a rewriter; I have so many notebooks filled with drafts you wouldn't believe.”

“The list of gifted teachers and librarians who find their jobs in jeopardy for defending their students' right to read, to imagine, to question, grows every year.”

“I used to read about people who'd say, 'I dream my books, and then I write them down.' And I was like, 'Oh, please.'”

“I prefer to write first drafts as soon as possible after waking, so that the oneiric inscape is still present to me.”

“Whatever team drafts me, I'll be able to sit back and learn from the guy that's there and be able to compete with him and push him, but know that a guy's there because he's a veteran, he's done it before, he's professional.”

“I have to re-write a lot. I couldn't tell you how many drafts I write, but I know I've done at least twenty rewrites on each book.”
