hat do writers do between book projects? I don’t mean writers who work at magazines or newspapers, silly. Obviously, they write every single day, and then they seize upon something they have become obsessed with and write about that every single night and on vacations and on the weekends, and then these writers with full-time jobs come out with books. If the model works really well, their books are then written up in the papers or magazines they work for. It’s clever, really. But I’m not talking about them.
