It's easy to feel like it's a frivolous hobby that's taking away from important things.

I had written about a half-dozen short stories, and they started to feel more like part of one novel.

The fun thing is no one knows what's straight from your life.

I am frivolous. Then I feel guilty.

I'm taking a vow not to advise.

I'm not semi-retired, I'm just taking it easy.
