When I began to be published, people got the idea that I should 'teach writing,' which I have no idea how to do and don't really believe in.
I was fired from my television job, simple as that. Well, downsized, really, a classic 1990s situation.
There are people who do things in tech that have the same skill sets that journalists have. They write, they edit, they put out press releases.
I've evolved in my writing to tell a more emotional story - my publisher, Random House, has urged that.
There are some novelists who can get away with writing about sex - Philip Roth, Ian McEwan - but they are rare.
My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of 'me' storytelling.
I'd really been wanting to do a television series. I was looking for a comedy.
I really only have been seriously writing, finishing things and publishing things since January '91.
Usually, if I'm yelling at the TV, I'm in a bar. If I'm by myself, and it's not a game, I often find myself scolding reality stars that can't hear me through the television set.
