crap days producing wrote
Boy, there are days where I get up and say 'Where the hell did my talent go? Look at this crap that I'm producing here. This is terrible. Look, I wrote this yesterday. I hate this, I hate this.'
identify individual seen tight
I write from this tight third-person viewpoint, where each chapter is seen through the eyes of one individual character. When I'm writing that character, I become that character and identify with that character.
agent anyone chapters contract entire good outlines writers wrote
Many writers will get a contract by selling chapters and outlines or something like that. I wrote the entire novel, and when it was all finished, I would give it to my agent and say, 'Well, here's a novel; sell it if you can.' And they would do that, and it was good because I never had anyone looking over my shoulder.
car dog four irish matter pages run won
There are writers, and I know some of them, who are very disciplined. Who write, like, four pages a day, every day. And it doesn't matter if their dog got run over by a car that day, or they won the Irish sweepstakes. I'm not one of those writers.

If you go all the way back, I've always written science-fiction, I've always written fantasy, I've always written horror stories and monster stories, right from the beginning of my career. I've always moved back and forth between the genres. I don't really recognise that there's a significant difference between them in some senses.

I got into stand-up because I love stand-up. Specifically in stand-up, I love jokes. I love short, structured ideas and a punch line.

Well, once we finish something, I can't really listen to it because all I hear are problems.
arsenal expect far felt finish liverpool manchester maybe pressure top united win
The pressure is on Manchester United to win the Premiership, but we felt we could win. While I still expect Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool to finish in the top four, maybe we are not far away.
canada expected
The pressure's on them (Canada). They were expected to be here, we weren't. But don't get me wrong, we want gold. We're not going to play for the silver.

The presidency of the United States is not some crown to be passed between two families.

We haven't gotten clearance to play him (Johnson) yet, but he feels better. There is little to no swelling in his leg. We are optimistic that we'll have him back in a few weeks.
