“All I know is when I’m working on them, I have to try and find the way that it wants to be,” Smith says on the process of writing books. “When you’re writing, or putting together a book, I’ve heard writers say this before and I agree with it, it’s as if the book is already there and you have to find it. You have to uncover it. As if dig it up, and either piece it back together, or brush it down and it will hold together however it was conceived from beyond your ken.”
