Every morning is a battle between the superego and the id, and I am a mere foot soldier with mud and a snooze button on her shield.

I am not a morning person.

I am a soldier, convinced that I am acting on behalf of soldiers.

I am not a crook.

I try to hurt myself, to sprain something, writing every novel and story, because I'm stretching for something new and difficult that I haven't done before.

I am not a morning person. I like to sleep in.
