I get up each day and I write first thing in the morning, and I discover at that point what happens next. I discover the story the same way a reader will discover the story. What I like about not plotting is not knowing what comes next. It was completely predictable, and it clearly did not work out. It turns out when I plot books, I telegraph them. I wrote a book in between this and My Lovely Wife that we threw out. My editor and I fine-tuned it a little, and then I wrote the book and it was terrible. After My Lovely Wife I had to write my second book, and I had to submit a synopsis for the book to my editor. All I saw was like massacre in the desert in my head. I didn't know how it was going to happen. I didn't know who would be left standing. I had in my mind a very vague idea of the ending, I knew it would end in the desert, and I knew there was going to be mass bloodshed in the desert.
