I've been writing full-time since 1978.

The idea that you could make a living from writing always thrilled me.

I became a full-time writer in 1993 and have been very happy, insofar as anybody is, since.

Unlike a typical professional, I can't quit my job to become a full-time author; I don't have that luxury. For me, writing is therapy; if I choose to write full-time, it might start feeling like work.

I've been writing full-time since I was 23.

I'm an author. And writers write books. And writing books is a full-time career.

Yes. I am writing full-time. Which is strange. It feels like not having a job.

I enjoy writing. Publishing... not so much. I've been lucky to work with some very talented people in the publishing world, and the print industry has allowed me to write full time.

As long as I'm able to write across the media and across the age groups, I'm happy.

The great thing about being a writer is that you have a long, perhaps frighteningly long time in which to do your work.
