Jesse Andrews
American Novelist
My process is pretty messy, and there's a lot of creative destruction in it. When I set out to write something, I'll write some passages from it just to figure out who these characters are, how they talk. And I have a dim sense of what it's about and where it's going to go, but I know that's going to change, too.
Quote examples
Chris Claremont
British Writer

Quote examples
John Irving
American Novelist
