I'm not very disciplined. I tend to write late at night because I get distracted during the day.

I've worked in several different places, most of my experience comes from spending eight summers at a camp for adults with a wide range of disabilities. For six years I spent every summer living in a small cabin with five men with Downes Syndrome. It was just me and these five guys, all in their forties and fifties. We had such a great time.

I'm trying to write stories that are interesting and enjoyable.

I want the situations and plots to be surprising and unusual.

I was living in a house with 11 dogs and all I thought about was dogs. I never had sex with any of them though.

I like people who lead unusual lives, and very often a person with a disability fits into that category.

I'm interested in other animals too though. There's the slug in "Mollusks", and I wrote a story about bees and one about a cat which got thrown out a window by mistake, but those never made it into the collection.
