I like to think of myself as a storyteller.

I think of myself as an enormously lucky person.

I think of myself as a storyteller, and that is it.

I think of myself as an assistant storyteller.

I work full-time in a used bookstore. I get up. I drink a cup of coffee. I think, The last thing I want to do is write. Then I go to the computer and write.

I think of myself... as a troubadour, a village storyteller, the guy in the shadows of the campfire.
