It wasn't until I was working on 'Tacky' that I admitted to myself that I was writing a series.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had novels to write, so I wrote them.
I wouldn't say I invented tacky, but I definitely brought it to its present high popularity.
I think it was the fact that I liked it so much that made the writing just come out of me automatically.
I'd never written a novel before, and I wrote a novel, and that turned out OK.
I can't say that I ever actually decided to become a writer. It kind of snuck up on me.
It really wasn't until I was in college when I began to write more and more, and I realized I was scheduling my entire life around my writing.
I always felt that I was a writer, that was what I had to do.
I had been saying to myself for a good many years that I was really a writer and that I was in advertising temporarily.
A lot of the traditional sitcom stuff I did - I think I could have gone that route when I was younger as a staff writer, and I just didn't want to.
To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.
