I fear dying in the middle of a book. It would be so annoying to write 80,000 words and not get to the end. I'm phobic about it. So when I'm writing a book I leave messages all over the house for people to know how the story ends, and then someone can finish it for me.
My greatest fear is disappointing the reader, so each book has to be better than the one before.
I vividly remember being 14. That was the age when I started to get happy: I started being a writer and stopped being a loser.
