Then I thought I was going to be a photographer. I tried a hand at darkroom technician. I played in a band. It took me quite some time to discover that I wanted to write. ↗

A lot of the reasons why something is a favorite thing are all things you don't necessarily see, the place, the people, the time, where you are, what it meant to you at the time. ↗

I write lustily and humorously. It isn't calculated; it's the way I think. I've invented a writing style that expresses who I am. ↗

I never became a writer for the money. I am a poet first. Even getting published is a miracle for poets. ↗

My favorite movie is 'The Women' from 1939. It's been my favorite movie since I was like 12 years old. I love the dialogue, really. It's just a lot of really strong female performances. Rosalind Russell kills it, you know. ↗

I must apologise because I know all writers have memories of being on the outer because it's the children on the side of the playground who become the dangerous writers. ↗
