"Håller min idé?"

“For me it takes a few years to write a book. I feel so anxious about ‘was this a good idea?’ It just means that someone has to calm me down, like an editor; he should convince me that it’s worth working on so that I’ll go on. It’s like temperamental. It’s a sort of a joke. ... Familiarity is important because I realize that I go through this with every book. But the minute I finish that book, I forget and then I go through it again. Someone has to tell me, ‘This is the seventh time you’re going through this,’ and somebody has to be around me enough to know.”

"Att skriva handlar om att fokusera"

"Att skriva handlar om att fokusera. När du fokuserar på något kommer du in i en rytm. Du ser var allt material du kommit över passar in och var det inte gör det. Att behålla den sortens fokus är det allra svårasre med att skriva. Alla avbrott förstör det."

"Jag skriver varje dag. Även om det bara blir lite grann. Jag har insett att om jag inte gör det så tar det tre dagar att hitta fokus igen. En ledig dag förstör det."

Chamberlaine igen.....

Hon är så inspirerande med sin glädje över att skriva:

"Ahhhh. . . four wonderful hours at the Opium Den this morning. Me, all curled up in a cushy purple chair with a maple oat nut scone, too many cups of coffee, and a fresh pad of yellow lined paper. Heaven. I’m serious!
My subconscious and I work so well together sometimes! Since I am working on both story and character simultaneously at this early point , here’s how I spent my time. I skimmed/read/skipped through parts of Gail Saltz’s book, THE ANATOMY OF A SECRET LIFE. Ideas came to me as I read and I wrote them down. It’s such a strange and interesting thing that happens when you’re lucky enough to be blessed with an out-of-control imagination. If anyone read my notes and also read Saltz’s book, they’d never connect the two. It’s just that reading anything short of cereal boxes at this point in the process inspires new ideas. It’s such fun. I know the central players now, but they are pale shadows of who’ll they’ll become. A new and intriguing character came to me who will play an important role, and some of the plot twists are popping into my brain.
I’m trying to make three very important decisions: who is the central character, the protagonist? who has a POV (point of view)? and will I write in first or third person?"
