I thought I could never write a proper book; I’d never done it before.
But I thought I could write a sequence. Then I had a chapter.
The next thing I knew I was turning acting down. ~ Tana French

And for 2019:

If you rewrite a paragraph fifty times and forty-nine of them are terrible,
that’s fine; you only need to get it right once. ~ Tana French

If you’re writing a scene for a character with whom you disagree in every way,
you still need to show how that character is absolutely justified
in his or her own mind,
or the scene will come across as being
about the author’s views
rather than about the character’s. ~ Tana French

Texas Book Festival: HoTXSinC Was There!

Details in next month’s HOTSHOTS!

I like writing about big turning points,
where professional and personal lives coalesce,
where the boundaries are coming down,
and you’re faced with a set of choices
which will change life forever. ~ Tana French
