James Patterson Will Not Retire From Writing
“No, at this point, I have a big folder of ideas. It’s like six inches thick, just page after page after page, and when its time for me to be thinking about another book, the process that I usually follow is, I’ll sit down and go through the pages and write down 10 or 12 ideas that are interesting to me at that moment. Then I’ll stare at them a lot and pick one and then begin to craft a story around it and see if a story is coming.” (Parade Magazine)
