My novels are outlined by data that I find unknown to the public, that have not been much used. I have my own rituals. I drink a lot of coffee, I smoke a lot, I don't write at night, but early in the morning, I listen to music usually the one that causes vibrations that follow the plot of my story. This awarded novel was written with operas in the back. For me it was somewhere between pathetic feelings and solemnity.
Love is also somewhere in the middle.
I use it on a bus or when I hear something interesting or something interesting strikes my mind. Just not to forger, I record it. You are said to be too somber, not whimsical. You can't tell that for yourself. If it were another man about I would rather call him prudent.
