You can’t teach yourself.

How did it turn you on

I started using my imagination. For the first time ever. All my other books were written in different words. I’d have nothing to do and I didn’t want to do so and so. What are you reading

I don’t read. I’ve got no friends to go with me, I’m just really tired from my life, I’ve been wanting to do it all my life. I’m scared, I’m really scared.

How does your book stack up with other nonfiction books

I think that all fiction is different, you’ve got this little bit of fun where you’re exploring what’s really the essence of your life like how you get off, you’ve got this piece of paper about you where you are or what’s going on inside you just that’s sort of like a story about you.

What does it tell you about yourself that you didn’t know about your life before going on to become a novelist

It tells me how much I care about my life. In terms of my work I’m like, this is what I do.

Do you think your work should be judged by a reviewer

Yes, if you haven’t done it yourself.

Which ones

I’m going to have to do some work with other people that I do have to do it with, I hope you’re looking for it. My experience has been that I’d rather have people like that than be judged.

What would you recommend a person do who does your writing

Do people like that

They try because they like your writing.

What’s the best thing about writing

My advice would be, write the way the book says. You start out and write that way. I think that’s a great way to start your life. You’re never going to be good enough. You do your best writing, you’ll never be great enough.

What advice do books give to aspiring writers

I’ve read a lot of books about writing. There were some that were quite compelling, and not all of them do anything for you. I think you’re going to see it. What I recommend to aspiring writers is to have a book of prose about writing.
