The pieces I've written for 'Outside' magazine are definitely my best work, and they're virtually all about the outdoors.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love writing traditional magazine pieces, and especially their breadth of reporting and the deliberateness of the writing.
As readers can probably tell from my books, I love the outdoors.
I prefer every time a picture composed and painted outdoors.
I have composed several pieces which are performed outdoors, not only in the auditoria.
I have a screened in porch, and it's nice to curl up with a book outside when it's raining, especially an old battered classic like 'Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.'
I always like to see if the art across the street is better than mine.
Just go outside and look at something and write it down and you'll find it is a very nice piece of writing.
I get I style inspiration everywhere: the streets of New York, magazines... everywhere!
When I wrote 'Sideways Stories from Wayside School' I never expected it to be published. It was kind of a hobby. Now, it's a job, but it's a job I like very much.
I knew that you couldn't make a living simply writing about the outdoors, so I made an effort from the beginning of my freelance career to write about other subjects.
