Early on, I tried fiction, but I wasn't very good at it. I wrote a very bad novel that is thankfully sitting in a drawer somewhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tried writing fiction as a little kid, but had a teacher humiliate me, so didn't write again until I was a senior in college.
I have a really good idea for a novel and would like to just kind of try my hand at fiction. I'm starting to kind of get a really good body of work going from a literary standpoint. As long as the audience is there, man, I'll keep cranking them out.
I've written fiction... but the nonfiction has always received the most attention.
There's always a bit of fiction in everything that I write.
At university, I used to write silly little sketches and monologues, but never fiction.
Getting to the point where I was ready to write a book has been about a 20-year journey of being, really honestly, too afraid to try - which I think is pretty common for people who are trying to write a large piece of fiction.
Writing fiction was a way to take the ideas that troubled me or confused me and put them under pressure.
When I started writing fiction, I knew how good it was immediately.
Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything.
Fiction is the thing I esteem most in my own work; I feel that, even if it's no good, only I could have written those books.
