" Interview 2019: Here's a deep dark secret that I'm going to share with you: Everybody who goes on about their writing process is probably just making it up, because you can't actually remember that much about how you wrote things. Unless you're a much better organized person than I am. (My process) is skiing down a hill. When you are skiing down a hill, you're trying not to fall over --- and you're making a lot of unconscious decisions automatically. You're not thinking about them because if you do, you will fall over. "
