american-author asked drafts except script sent turned
I wasn't involved, except to the degree that they sent me drafts of the script as the writer turned them in. They asked me at one point to write a memo about what I thought of it.
american-author
Joe is the hero and Sammy is the sidekick. That's how I feel about it.
american-author
Comic books were just the means for me to tell the story.
american-author disappear giving hold might opportunity readers written
I like giving readers an opportunity to get a hold of me in that way and to read things I've written which might disappear otherwise.
american-author
That was all very nice of them. They didn't have to do anything because I wasn't officially involved at all.
american-author
It is unusual for Joe to be that way, but that's what interested me.
american-author fairly
It was fun. That was something I came to fairly late.
american-author fifteen interest lost sold until wonder
I completely lost interest in comics. I sold my collection. I didn't go back to them for fifteen years - until after Wonder Boys.
american-author collective devoted feels web
I'm such a devoted web user, myself, that it feels important to me to have a presence, to be a part of that whole collective enterprise.
american-author bound incredible sit stack yorkers
It was an incredible resource. I'd sit with a big stack of bound New Yorkers in the library and read through, especially the 'Talk of the Town' sections.
escaping anxiety forget
Forget about what you are escaping from. Reserve your anxiety for what you are escaping to.
influence bliss novel
All novels are sequels; influence is bliss.
mistake writing firsts
When I finish a first draft, it's always just as much of a mess as it's always been. I still make the same mistakes every time.
mistake writing thinking
I don't think you could teach someone to be a genius, but you can certainly teach them to not make rookie mistakes and to look at writing the way a writer looks at writing, and not just the way a reader looks at writing. There are a lot of techniques and skills that can be taught that will be helpful to anybody, no matter how gifted they are, and I think writing programs can be very good for people.
