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 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 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.
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.
wings firsts would-be
I thought, I fanced, that in a moment, I would be standing on nothing at all, and for the first time in my life, I needed the wings none of us has.
editors ideas wife
I was surprised that my wife thought it was a good idea, then again with my agent, another woman, then my editor, another woman - in spite of the fact that all three of them reacted positively I still have this fear.
were-meant-to-be world prison
The world like our heads was meant to be escaped from, they are prisons world and head alike.
