en Everyone thinks they can be a writer. Most people don't understand what's involved. The real writers persevere.

en A good writer cannot avoid having social consciousness. I don't mean this about small pieces of writing, but about a big book. If it's a big book, there has to be more than one undertow. A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance.

en [Stepping out from the shadow of Psycho , and such other iconic works as Less Than Zero and The Rules of Attraction , has been difficult for Ellis.] I had spent 10 years working on an outline about a writer very much like myself, ... He was a fictional writer who had written fictional books, one about a serial killer. He'd had hard times, drug and alcohol problems, and had fathered an 11-year-old boy.

A lot of authors, if their first book is a success, they're terrified to write a second one. But in my case, since the first book wasn't considered a literary book, I was really determined to show people I could do other types of writing.

en I'm always writing from a place in my experience. Generally, I'm writing about something that I don't understand, and I'm writing to make sense of it. It's a discovery process. In that way, it's kind of therapeutic for the writer. If you stumble on something really good, like I did with 'Mercy Now,' then it becomes therapeutic for more than just the writer.

en Long and involved is the only way I know how to write. I'm that kid with the blue book in the college exam hall, and they say time is up and I keep writing.

Typically, you start off trying to tell the work what it's supposed to do, but as you keep going, it starts telling you what to do.

Who'da thunk it?
