Patricia A. McKillip Quotes

I Had Thirty-nine Typed Pages And A Contract Stating I Would Send The Completed Manuscript In By February 1, 2002. I Knew Where I Wanted The Novel To Go, But I Couldn't Seem To Shove It Past Page 39. I Couldn't Find The Point Of View I Needed To Examine The Life And Motives Of A Man Who Wanted To Conquer The World. I Did The Usual: Sacrificed Small Rodents To The Moon, Offered My Soul To Demons In Exchange For Inspiration, Did Some Research. Nobody Wanted The Rodents Or My Soul, And The Research Into Ancient Conquerors Seemed Barren. Finally, Out Of The Blue, A Young Girl Stepped Into My Head, Opened Her Mouth And Told Me Where That Part Of The Story Began.
