Actually, I can't remember when I was not writing.

I have to always remember, writing is really hard.

After about fourth grade, I do remember borrowing my mother's old portable Olivetti and typing stories out on the back of photocopies of journal articles.

I've been with the paper for almost 30 years.

Sometimes things just fall out of your head on the paper, and if you're smart, you learn not to touch them.

Everything I've ever done in my whole career, people might not know, I've never written anything down on paper.

I don't stare at a sheet of paper and try to think of a good word to use. I try to see where the story should go.
