Other writers might have different priorities, but for me, the chief goal of my novels is not plot or premise or pacing, but to evoke a certain feeling. I will sacrifice most anything in order to change someone’s mood in a certain way. I can’t do that without careful navigation of metaphor and character development.

Sometimes, there are things you just can’t do—but just like how I know that, I know that there are things that you can do.

What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.
