More From William Gibson

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. and parts are written better when you're older. when you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality. you're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. so i find it just much more liberating.
Men Inspire Quality
I find myself absolutely fulfilled when i have written a poem, when i'm writing one. having written one, then you fall away very rapidly from having been a poet to becoming a sort of poet in rest, which isn't the same thing at all. but i think the actual experience of writing a poem is a magnificent one.
Fall Writing Thinking
As for thinking time versus writing time, well, that's up to you. but - and i wish it were otherwise - books don't get written by thinking about them, they get written by writing them. and that's when you make discoveries about what you're writing. that's when you get the happy accidents.
Book Writing Thinking
Essentially, the scripts are not that different. let's say, in literary terms, it's the difference between writing horizontally and writing vertically. in live television, you wrote much more vertically. you had to probe people because you didn't have money or sets or any of the physical dimensions that film will allow you. so you generally probed people a little bit more. film writing is much more horizontal. you can insert anything you want: meadows, battlefields, the taj mahal, a cast of thousands. but essentially, writing a story is writing a story.
Writing Differences People
How many chapters have been written about love verses - and how many more might be written! - might, would, could, should, or ought to be written! - i will venture to say, will be written!

So let the way wind up the hill or down, o’er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy; still seeking what i sought when but a boy, new friendship, high adventure, and a crown. my heart will keep the courage of the quest, and hope the road’s last turn will be the best.
Heart Adventure Journey
Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.
Fun Adventure Destiny
It's just harder out there in the world of the living, and we cannot protect you out there as easily. i wanted to keep you perfectly safe...but there is only one perfectly safe place for your kind, and you will not reach it until all your adventures are over and none of them matter any longer.
