As you can watch on my lj as I wind this book to a close, I work very nonsequentially. Whatever looks like the shiniest thing to be writing is what I write. I am a magpie novelist.

I write this way because it works for me, and because it's my most efficient way to write, and mostly because it didn't occur to me not to. It was one of my ways of shutting up the perfectionist: you don't have to do the very next sentence perfectly, you just have to do a sentence reasonably well.
