“I need an hour alone before dinner,
with a drink, to go over what I’ve done that day. I can’t do it late in the
afternoon because I’m too close to it. Also, the drink helps. It removes me
from the pages. So I spend this hour taking things out and putting other things
in. Then I start the next day by redoing all of what I did the day before,
following these evening notes. When I’m really working I don’t like to go out
or have anybody to dinner, because then I lose the hour. If I don’t have the
hour, and start the next day with just some bad pages and nowhere to go, I’m in
low spirits. Another thing I need to do, when I’m near the end of the book, is
sleep in the same room with it. That’s one reason I go home to Sacramento to finish things. Somehow the book
doesn’t leave you when you’re asleep right next to it. In Sacramento nobody cares if I appear or not. I
can just get up and start typing.”
