Fiction Is Socially Meaningful.

I'm Not An Urban Person.

When I Went To College I Took A Creative Writing Class And Decided In A Week To Be A Writer.

The Best Advice On Writing I've Ever Received Is To Take It Seriously, Because To Do It Well Is All-consuming.

Writing Became An Obsessive Compulsive Habit But I Had Almost No Money So I Thought About Being An Urban Firefighter And Having Lots Of Free Time In Which To Write Or Becoming An English Teacher And Thinking About Books And Writers On A Daily Basis. That Swayed Me.

I'm Interested In Themes That Endure From Generation To Generation.
