Why and How I Plan My Novels

Why and How I Plan My Novels

Often – at festivals, in libraries, in theatres and book shops – I am asked the planning question (Do I plan my novels in advance?) either by a member of the audience or by an interviewer who is interviewing me and one or two other crime writers on a panel.

Quotes by Sophie Hannah (?)

“I never do enjoy my breaks, long or short...I look forward to them intensely, but as soon as they begin, I can feel them starting to end. I feel the temporariness of my freedom, and find it hard to concentrate on anything other than the sensation of it trickling away.”
Sophie Hannah, The Wrong Mother

“Lies were lethal, however honourable the intentions of the liar. They deprived people of the opportunity to know the basic facts of their own lives.”
Sophie Hannah, Little Face
tags: lies

“Weak people always attack strong people - it's safer. It's weak people who are dangerous, who lash out uncontrollably and hurt you back. Stong people can walk away - no repercussions, you see, if you attack a stong person.”
Sophie Hannah
