Ayn Rand



How is writing novels difficult for you?

"Because it's an enormous context that you have to keep in mind. It's an enormous structure. You can't do it inspirationally. You can't do it by looking at a piece of paper once and just decide what you're going to do. It's a whole enormous structure, much more complicated than a building, and you have to keep it all in mind, never contradict your outline, and carry it out. It's killingly difficult, but wonderful when you succeed at it."
