I wouldn't waste the question on something like "how did you think of" or "where did that come from"
I would imagine that writing a story is like writing a song
Something just pops up in your head or keeps you from sleeping until your figure it out and write it down.
I imagine writing a book for him is like reading it for us. Maybe he gets all lost in it and then next thing you know you look up and its dark outside and you have no idea where the time went.
What I want to know is
Do you loose sleep when the idea is forming and there are details fighting in your brain to get noticed and your trying to get them all before you loose one that might be the most important. (I am sure he has had enough practice now) but in the beginning of his writing big novels did the idea or the details of it seem to get so big that you were ever like f this, this is to much. But that same story or idea would just keep nagging you and nagging you until you wrote it down. And do those ideas ever stop. Say you start thinking this story or like the little story factory starts to fire up can you just shut it down. Or are you like sitting there pretending to listen to someone while your really trying to work this story out or out of your head. How do you trail off into the abyss and come back with a story that people can understand.
I imagine getting lost there and not finding my way back with anything but tattered clothes and a slight case of insanity.
I guess that is like fifty questions or not a question at all so the question is "Is it or was it ever like that for you?"
I am sure I could find some interview online that has this information already but if I could pick anyone's brain until it was empty it would probably be his.
