Paul Rosolie

I mean, dozens and dozens.

That's the... That's where writing sucks.

When you're finishing a book... And that, I'll never do that again.

So what I'm doing now is...

This last book, there's so much that it covered.

And I was in the jungle and it'd be like hiking for 10 hours a day, dealing with narco traffickers, all this stuff, and then I'd have to edit at night.

And it was like, this is no way to live.

So now what I'm doing is,

I'm writing chapters as I feel like writing chapters.

When something amazing happens or something remarkable, I go, this is gonna be its own chapter.

I write it, edit it, and then I send it to my sister, who's an expert editor and has lived more in literature than most people live in real life.

And she'll let me know if it's good or bad or needs to be tweaked or moved along, whatever else.

When I get it back from her, it's marked up.

And then what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna put those aside.

And then the next time I want to write a book, it's not starting from scratch on 300,000 words.

It's just here.

It's ready.

Much easier.

What kind of books do you think you might write in the future?

Well, there's mother of God and now there's jungle keeper.
