We try a new drug, a new combination <br/>of drugs, and suddenly <br/>I fall into my life again <br/><br/>like a vole picked up by a storm <br/>then dropped three valleys <br/>and two mountains away from home. <br/><br/>I can find my way back. I know <br/>I will recognize the store <br/>where I used to buy milk and gas. <br/><br/>I remember the house and barn, <br/>the rake, the blue cups and plates, <br/>the Russian novels I loved so much, <br/><br/>and the black silk nightgown <br/>that he once thrust <br/>into the toe of my Christmas stocking.

This is the image from which he was born... Characters are not born, like people, of woman; they are born of a situation, a sentence, a metaphor, containing in a nutshell a basic human possibility... The characters in my novels are my own unrealized possibilities. That is why I am equally fond of them and equally horrified by them...

Eragon started as me but ended up evolving into his very own character,.. Even as he has gone through his coming-of-age story, the process of writing and publishing these novels has been my own coming-of-age story. There are parallels between my own experience and Eragon's, but fortunately, I don't have people charging at me with swords.

It takes me an hour or so to knock up an article, so if I can't sell it it's no big deal. But with a novel, you're invested, emotionally, materially and in every way, so the stakes are a lot higher. But novels are a lot more fun to write, no doubt about it

I have no doubt that Oprah will remain committed to bringing life-expanding novels -- their themes and their authors -- to the attention of the huge audience that she inspires. It seems the frequency and format of her book recommendations will now change but not Oprah's underlying mission of getting people to read to enrich themselves and to better understand others.

The theory on my part is to read; reading is the answer. Read anything that you can get your hands on. I would try to make sure that the author has something to say. Take a wide selection of authors: old, new, prose, poets, novels, epics, and all that stuff.. Think about it and find something to talk about.
