SPOT

LIGHT

Diana GabaldonDiana Gabaldon has spent two decades and

about 3 million words describing time-traveling

20th century English nurse Claire and her 18th

century Scottish husband Jamie. Now, Gabaldon’s

characters come alive in The Exile: An Outlander

Graphic Novel (Del Rey, September).

GN: Do Claire and Jamie Fraser look just like you

imagined?

Diana Gabaldon: Well, no. That’s more or less

impossible. The artist did a wonderful job, but he

can’t see inside my head.

GN: Did the artist interview you?

DG: To start, they sent me samples from about 10

artists. I was struck by Hoang Nguyen’s sense of

color and composition. I chose him, because of his

expressions. For a story that is very complex and

deals with relationships among a great number of

people, you need a lot of expressions. I wrote him

descriptions of what Jamie and Claire looked like.

Things like: “She’s tall for a woman of the time. Her

hair has a personality of its own. She should look

intelligent and competent.” I liked his version of

Claire right away. His take on Jamie was very

striking and arresting, but we still went through sev-

eral back-and-forths.

GN: Who would play them in a movie?

DG: I don’t watch TV or movies very much, so I

don’t even know what actors are available to play

them. An actor is an artist, and their job is to

embody the character. The physical attributes are

not as important as the actor’s grasp of the charac-

ter’s intrinsic qualities. That is why they

have casting directors.

GN: How was graphic novel story telling

diff erent for you?

DG: My writing has always had a strong

visual component. In this case, you are

still using visual elements, but it is more

of a snapshot thing. You exercise more

precision in selecting the images. It has

to carry the story panel to panel, page to

page. At the same time, dialog is the

single most important thing you have to convey a

character. I had a lot of text to choose from. I had to

choose the things that were most indicative of the

character and also carried the plot.

GN: Can we expect more graphic novels from you?

DG: If this fi rst one sells, certainly.

GN: What’s your best advice on how to write a

book?

DG: Sit down and put words on paper. It is the only

way to learn to write. There are no classes. But

number one, you have to read. Read everything. It

helps you determine what you want to write and it

helps you distinguish technique – why you like one

mystery more than another, why this one has

engaging characters and the other is wooden. The

second rule is to write. The third rule is the most

important – and that’s don’t stop.

GN: What is your writing process?

DG: What I start on any given day is a kernel – a

piece of dialog, an image or an emotion. I write a

line or two and then I sit there and stare at it and

then move words around. As I do this, my mind is

taking images from the compost pile. What time of

day is it? Is it daylight? I can tell by the light if it is

winter. It is very slow, and the scene gradually grows

around this kernel. Eventually, I have a complete

scene.
