Who: Bryan Burrough<\/b><\/p>\n

Claim to fame: <\/b>Author of six books\u2014including the critically-acclaimed <\/span>Barbarians at the Gate<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u2014he\u2019s also a winner of the Loeb Award for financial journalism and Vanity Fair writer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why\u2019d we pick him, in ten words: <\/b>Simple: He\u2019s the<\/span> author of the \u201cbest business book ever<\/a>.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Where to find him: <\/b>At Vanity Fair<\/a> and <\/span>on Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

When did he first want to become a writer:<\/b> \u201cAll I ever wanted to be was a newspaper reporter. The end of my horizon was maybe covering cops for one of the Dallas papers. Once I got into writing longer pieces for the Wall Street Journal, though, I did start experimenting with narrative techniques. I had never thought of myself as a “writer,\u2019\u2019 in large part because at the beginning I was so bad at writing.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the basics: What time of day do you start writing? Is it easier for you to write early in the morning? Late at night?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

`Writing\u2019 for me may mean something different from a novelist who has an established routine. Writing for me is wrapped up in reporting and research, so I don\u2019t honestly have a writing routine time-wise. I tend to work an 8-to-5 or 6 day. I write and research at the same time, I mean, I don\u2019t divide the work as some do, you know, all the research, then all the writing. That\u2019s a recipe for disaster. <\/span><\/p>\n

So typically when I show up in the office in the morning I have some copy I\u2019ve been working on, and some reporting tasks for the day. I do tend to begin the morning by going over something I\u2019m writing, often just as an excuse to get back into where I was the day before. I tend to go over that same bit of copy many, many times; I think of it as a stone that gets polished over and over and over and over, until it\u2019s as smooth as can possibly be. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your preferred tool for writing\u2014a word processor like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, etc.? A pen and paper?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Microsoft Word on a desktop. I like structure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you listen to music when you write, or do you prefer silence, or something else in the background?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Silence. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any pre-writing rituals or habits?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not really. But I do I have mid-writing rituals. I tend to write in 45-90 minute bursts, after which I desperately need to step away from the computer for a bit and then return with “fresh\u2019\u2019 eyes. Typically I use that break to play I-pad Scrabble or, occasionally, play a computer game of some sort. Civilization 5 and XCom2 were two recent time-killers. If I feel like it, I might even take a nap. <\/span><\/p>\n

How many words a day do you produce, or try to produce? How much of that ever sees the light of day?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oh, I have no daily goals like a novelist might have. In non-fiction, you go where the day takes you. And most of what I write sees the light of day. I mean, I cut a lot. I\u2019m ruthless. But that\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>about pruning, rarely eliminating entire chapters and such. Although I did, on an editor\u2019s recommendation, cut 23 percent of `Public Enemies<\/a><\/em>\u2019 after turning it in. Did it in like three weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you first sit down to write, how do you start? What goes through your mind when fingers are first meeting keys (or pen hits paper)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No real thoughts, I don\u2019t think. The one thing I do is I rarely start at the “top\u2019\u2019 and work down. I write sections independently, and then cobble them together as the piece, or the chapter, grows. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Your books are very richly reported. Do you wait until your reporting is done before putting pen to paper, or are you writing as you go along?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oh God, never. No, I have a system of my own. At the very beginning, I open a writing file and a reporting\/research file. Things I like in the reporting file \u2014 a good anecdote, a good quote \u2014 I immediately move over into the writing file to play with. This way the written material grows bit by bit every day, organically. Eventually I begin to stitch some of the sections together. Then add a top, an ending, transitions and, voila, I have a finished product. <\/span><\/p>\n

Is there a system you\u2019ve developed for outlining your books? With all these overlapping characters, events, sources, interviews, how do you keep it all straight? Is it all in your head?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Yes, it\u2019s all in my head. That\u2019s where a book lives, you know? At some point once the chapters have grown enough, I will keep a list of them with their lengths. My books are always too damn long, and this is my feeble way of at least trying to monitor the length. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have a different approach for your journalism and your books, or does it all follow roughly the same process?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Vanity Fair pieces are different from the books. I do them the same way, with the reporting and writing files, but the books are so much more all-consuming. They live with you 24\/7. <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you editing as you\u2019re writing or do you prefer to keep the two tasks separate?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oh I edit every morning, every day. Cut cut cut cut cut cut \u2014 as much as I can. I want my stuff lean and mean, with no wasted words. I think that\u2019s a common mistake many writers make. They think readers love their words. Maybe. But in my case I always feel the shorter, the better. Ironic given I write 550-page books, but without this process, they\u2019d be far longer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have an author whose voice or style you\u2019re trying to emulate when you\u2019re writing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When I first started at the Wall Street Journal, I managed to keep my job by successfully copying successful older reporters. But the books? They\u2019re just me. That\u2019s not to say certain authors haven\u2019t inspired me. The two books that influenced me most were probably Capote\u2019s In Cold Blood<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and the lesser-known Serpentine<\/a><\/em> by the great Texas writer Tommy Thompson. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing: writer\u2019s block? Do you think such a thing exists?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It exists, and I\u2019ve had it. That\u2019s why I devised the system I described above. I will say that I think writers block, at least in nonfiction, is seldom about writing. Its about the reporting, the research. If you haven\u2019t done enough, you can\u2019t be sure what to write. That\u2019s why you block.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any favorite books about writing and the creative process?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not really. <\/span><\/p>\n

When did your aspirations to become a writer begin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All I ever wanted to be was a newspaper reporter. The end of my horizon was maybe covering cops for one of the Dallas papers. Once I got into writing longer pieces for the Wall Street Journal, though, I did start experimenting with narrative techniques. I had never thought of myself as a “writer,\u2019\u2019 in large part because at the beginning I was so bad at writing. But once I started learning at the Journal, I did start thinking I might try a book at some point. Once my first book Barbarians at the Gate<\/a><\/em> came out and became this big thing, and once I left the Journal for Vanity Fair, I did begin calling myself a writer. It felt right. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve lived in several cities and reported from countless more. Is there a town or place that you think brings out the best in you creatively?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m hoping it\u2019s Austin!<\/span><\/p>\n
