PS - Went to W&L and am missing BV in the fall. Would you mind going a little deeper into this issue? Thanks. However, I can't shake my own belief that the person writing "Speaker" is fully committed to the philosophy contained therein. You have said in the past, by way of explaining this that, in order to be a good author, your characters can not all be reflections of the author, but must be their own people and their beliefs must be real and fully internalized.
Yet, in your personal life, you are obviously a devout elder in the LDS church a seeming conflict of ideas to those in many of your works. They are so beautifully realized and so lovingly lived through the characters, it is hard to believe that the person rendering those philosophies is not speaking through deep, personal understanding of them and belief in them. In many of your novels, most notably "Speaker", you detail and then work within deeply humanistic philosophies. Card, This is a question that I know you have approached on different fronts, but I hope to elicit more information this time around.
Fortunately, my family lets me haunt the house like a ghost during those writing periods, knowing that Dad comes back to the real world between novels. Usually these "two-a-days" take longer than 24 hours, so that my "morning" session moves into the afternoon, my "evening" session into the small hours of the morning. Later on, I will break into a new pattern of two sessions a day, one right after I get up in the morning, and then - after exercise or errands, something to take my mind off writing and get me away from the computer, I come back for a second session. My micropattern is that early on, I can only do one writing session a day - three or four hours, however long it takes to write an entire chapter (or a part of a chapter, ending at a climactic moment). After a week or so, I return to the novel and finish it in one intense rush that lasts between three and five weeks, depending on the length of the novel. My macropattern as a writer is that when I launch a novel, I get about five chapters or fifty pages into it, then take a break to let all the new stuff that came up gel as I discover how my plans and outlines need to be altered. I wish with all my heart that I had a writing schedule, but whenever I manage to have such a schedule, I get a bout of insomnia that throws it completely off.
