"For the last week, all I did was think about the words in this book. I deleted a lot of completely useless 'she saids' and 'justs' and repeated phrases. (Wow, there were a lot.) I tried to dot every I and cross every T when it came to the plot. (Wow, there was a lot of plot.) And I’m really pleased with this book, which I have managed to write in ten months."
