When I go to a music concert, I don't say, "My purpose is to get to the end and enjoy the finale." If that were the purpose, everybody would write finales and nothing more. The purpose of the concert is to enjoy each note as you go along.

When I sit down to write a book, I do not know where the energy and the words come from. I just sit down, and soon it is flowing through my hand and onto the paper.

Get your passion on the paper. Detach from the outcome. Forget about whether it's going to get published.

Writing isn't something I do, writing is something that I am. I am writing - it's just an expression of me.

When I sit down to write a book, I don't ask myself, "How many am I going to sell?"
