In 25 years of writing novels, I've never had anything that felt like writer's block.
I got a job writing for a financial technology newsletter in Manhattan. I didn't even understand what I was writing about. The newsletter had, like, 2,000 subscribers, and it was $700 a year for a subscription.
The first poem I ever wrote, about loss, when I was 5 years old, expressed the themes of everything I would ever write.
I've been writing about James Fenimore Cooper. He was not a writer. Here was a man who was 30 years old and had never put anything more than his signature on paper.
I was a dancer until I was 19. I never had to worry about working out or what I ate. So I've really had to train myself to get down to the gym.
When I grew up there wasn't air-conditioning or anything of that nature, and this old car had a wall thickness of about ten inches. So we had a little warmer house in the winter and a little cooler in the summer.
I started watching 'The Stooges' religiously and obsessively when I was probably about four or five years old till around the age of 18.
I can't help but laugh at all of you writing fake stories about me. I was not in any hit and runs. I don't drink so the DUI is false.
If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.
