The easy answer is that writing novels is a lot more fun than practicing law. ↗

To answer that I have to describe what I think is my responsibility as a thriller writer: To give my readers the most exciting roller coaster ride of a suspense story I can possibly think of. ↗

When it comes time to write the book itself I'll shut the lights out, picture the scene I'm about to write then close my eyes and go at it. Yes, I can touch type. ↗

I can't control what people think. I'm not trying to manipulate people's thoughts or sentiments. I write all the time. You have to experience life, make observations, and ask questions. It's machine-like how things are run now in hip-hop, and my ambitions are different. ↗

Writing, overall, has never been what I'd call fun. It's fulfilling. It doesn't come real easy for me. ↗

What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical. ↗

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing. ↗

I've always written about things that cause me to feel something. ↗

I think TV is much more the writer's medium and film is about the director and their vision and how you can collaborate with them and see that through to the end. They are so different. ↗

And writing I think is a gift that you have, the same as acting, in a way. ↗
