I came across this gem because I got an e-mail announcing that audible.com had started following me on Twitter. I'm glad I clicked on their link. This video is from a chat on December 17, 2009, and I enjoyed it immensely.

Watching it takes more than half an hour. Sorry, I didn't time it, because I wasn't expecting it to be long. In it, the author answers reader questions.

I found what he says interesting in some ways, as in: Koontz writes 60-80 hours a week. He starts around seven in the morning, skips lunch, goes all the way to dinnertime. He doesn't make any outlines or character sketches, but gets involved in the one book he's working on. He's no multi-tasker, unlike me and most of us here.

But then, being involved in only one story does have its benefits. I learned that while doing Nano in November.

Coming back Koontz, I hope you enjoy the video.
