I write synopses after the book is completed. I can't write it beforehand, because I don't know what the book's about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently.

A lot of people talk about writing. The secret is to write, not talk.
Jackie Collins

Jackie Collins
I wake up in the morning and I still have a passion for what I do, and I'll be doing it when I'm 105, I'll be scribbling away. If it was 100 years ago I'd be sitting by the campfire, saying, Have I got a story to tell you.

Jackie Collins
I really fall in love with my characters, even the bad ones. I love getting together with them. They tell me what to do they take me on a wild and wonderful trip.
Jackie Collins
I have written 20 books, and each one is like having a baby. Writing is not easy some people want to write books but just can't put a story together. I can put together a story that interests both me and my readers.
Jackie Collins
I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.
