He said in this interview he did that any writer who doesn't suffer a major crisis of confidence with each work is either a hack or a dilettante with his head up his arse. :) Every time I write a book I go through this same phase, 'can I do this again/what the hell was I thinking with this storyline/and there's no way to pull this dang mess together so I should just go get a real job.' I'm usually there for a few months, and I'm there now with this one. -- Cindy's Cottage

In reply to: Elaine 's message, "I love that little tin, and the candies themselves, too. I think the desire to write must be like a gnawing hunger that's hard to satisfy. Lehane's quote is really interesting. It sort of lends credibility to one condition that's usually poorly regarded, and another one that's terribly misunderstood. (You choose which one is which!) I should probably read some of his work. I don't seem to be in that kind of mood lately - maybe this winter." on 10:28:04 07/15/09 Wed
