"I keep it all in my head."

Have you always? Or, if I can broaden the question, have you changed
the way you go about writing over the years? Sort of the way one gives
up training wheels at some point? Or were you just born riding the
2-wheeler?

Thanks,
Joy

Yeah, pretty much...when I conceive a character, they're just sorta *there*,
fully grown, and I no more have to write down their characteristics than I
would have to write down the aspects of a friend I knew well, it's just the way
I've always been.
