“Good habits are worth being fanatical about.” — John Irving Quote

Good habits are worth being fanatical about.

I suppose I'm proudest of my novels for what's imagined in them. I think the world of my imagination is a richer and more interesting place than my personal biography.

My first attraction to writing novels was the plot, that almost extinct animal. Those novels I read which made me want to be a novelist were long, always plotted, novels - not just Victorian novels, but also those of my New England ancestors: Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

The building of the architecture of a novel - the craft of it - is something I never tire of.

I've actually picked up a lot of good habits from just watching film from Demetrious Johnson.

When we decide to bring a child to this world, as a parent, it becomes a responsibility to build a good healthy body by inculcating some of the good habits in the child.

We have to take every game serious. And when I say serious, I mean doing the right things, practicing good habits.
