Like I’m dragging bundles of old clothes? I’m carrying artifacts that breathe fire. I’m talking about a language of smoke. These are three-dimensional creatures that can mate. I’d no more leave them go by the side of the trail than I would my child. I’ll carry them until someone amputates my arms.

Sometimes I’ll be fifty, sixty pages into something and I’ll still be calling a character “X.” I don’t have a very clear idea of who the characters are until they start talking.

If you forget about the money issue for just a minute, if it’s possible to do that – because these are people’s livelihoods we’re talking about – and you look at Internet in terms of the most amazing broadcasting network ever built, then it’s completely different.
