There isn't a single day I don't do some writing -- if you don't, you won't have a book. When you're self-employed it is very easy to burn away your time instead -- answering e-mails, surfing the Internet, or hanging out with friends.

I find if I write every day, my subconscious will do the job for me.

So I emailed her, and ... well, 11 years later I am the client listed at the top of her masthead!

The thing I like so much about short stories is that there isn't as much of an investment of time so I'm free to experiment more. If it doesn't work out, I've only lost a week or two of work.

Alan Alda
