There were two big differences in my writing process when I worked on Capital. For my first novel, The Debt to Pleasure, I tried typing out those cards, but I started to come down with carpal tunnel syndrome. Once I’d finished a draft, that was when the next big difference kicked in. I started writing the book in early 2006 on the assumption that some form of crash was about to happen. When the crash did happen, it was much bigger and more systemic than anything I’d expected.
