Quickfire with James Frey<\/a><\/h1>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

James Frey is the author of \u2013 in my opinion \u2013 some of the best books written in the last decade: A Million Little Pieces, My friend Leonard, Bright Shiny Morning and The Final Testament of The Holy Bible. I am privileged to have been able to ask him a few questions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Where do you start when you\u2019re writing a book \u2013 do you have an outline, or just the germ of an idea and an ending, or something else completely?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know the beginning, the ending, have the entire book, in some abstract way, in head. All I do when I write a book is get it out of my head.<\/p>\n

How much do you rewrite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t rewrite at all. First books were edited, the second were almost exactly what came out of my printer when I printed the first draft.<\/p>\n

Do you have a particular place that you like to write?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I write my books on the couch of my house in Amagansett, NY. There\u2019s either music playing, or the TV is on.<\/p>\n

What do you do when you\u2019ve finished. When the final proof has gone\u00a0off and there is no way back?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let it go.<\/p>\n

What are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m proud of all the books I\u2019ve written. They were each a different experience, and I\u2019m proud of them for different reasons.<\/p>\n
