Gotta Be Tough

Readers Should Be Thirsty

"I wrote the kind of book I want to read.  I was as authentically myself as I could be.  That's tougher than some people would think."

"It's gotta be with a great sense of fun!  Writing is not a serious business.  It's a joy and a celebration.  You should be having fun at it.  Ignore the authors who say, 'oh, my god, what work.'  No, to hell with that!  ...If it's work, stop it, and do something else."
