I have completed and uncompleted screenplays, but they both fall into the category of “unsold.” I’ve seen quite a few movies where the screenplays seemed to be in the “uncompleted” category yet still got sold and made into movies, so I generally refer too all screenplays as “sold” or “unsold.” But that’s just my own filing system.

I don’t know why the publishers in New York don’t take a tip from Hollywood and just publish the outlines of novels rather than the completed books. Let the audience use their imaginations, as my Maw always says about radio. I would much prefer to read an outline of War and Peace than slog through eight hundred thousand words. Why do I need Tolstoy to describe snow? I can imagine snow, whether Russian snow or just regular snow. But book publishers seem to think that the authors should do all the work, and the readers should be waited on hand-and-foot like a buncha goddamn prima donnas.

You must understand that when you are writing a novel you are not making anything up. It's all there and you just have to find it.

Ce que l'on conçoit bien s'énonce clairement,
Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément.

Details are extremely important. A story without details is like an action movie without special effects.

When I'm writing, really writing, everything but breathing is an ignorable distraction.

On Writing About Nora Hawks
I write about a female character to try, in vain, to understand two things: the purpose of life, and women.
