I've had dreams - there were three things I wanted to do during my career. I did them during my first year of Grand Prix.
The first few years in L.A. were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself.
I worked in Hollywood as a reader and a would-be writer for about 6 years before I sold my first story.
I do tend to feel more connected to dead writers, perhaps because they have finished their work.
I figure that that has a ten year cycle. At the end of that ten years, I began to get worried that I would run into what is known as the writer's block, the feeling of not being able to do these things.
For me, the glory of my first 25 years as a writer was I could put things off as long as I wanted.
In my college years, I worked as a union labor organizer. I was just one of the many workers trying to do my part to help the community.
I had been working for eight years and all I had to show for it was this horrible debt. At one point we had the bailiff at the door.
I'm the farthest thing from a bibliophile. I purge my collection regularly: If I haven't read a book in a couple of years, I try to give it to someone who will.
