Harlan Coben : (5)

" I’m not very happy idle. " - Harlan Coben

" If I’m not writing well, I’m not happy. If I’m not spending enough time with my family, I’m not happy. If I’m not connecting to friends or if I don’t work out enough… You get the point. Everything has to be balanced. Nothing should be an extreme. " - Harlan Coben

" I love to make even villains people you can relate to. When you find out who did it, I think you almost like the person, which is not easy to do. " - Harlan Coben

" In real life, coincidences happen all the time. In novels, they are leapt upon with fury. " - Harlan Coben

" Let me back up a little and tell you why I prefer writing to real life: You can rewrite. A novel, for example, can be cleaned up, altered, trimmed, improved. Life, on the other hand, is one big messy rough draft. " - Harlan Coben
