I enjoy shooting. Around where I live, it's something you do for entertainment once in a while, you go out and shoot targets.

I loved writing for the school newspaper. I liked to report and interview people, but I really liked to write columns, funny columns.

The truth is I tried to write for years and I wasn't very good.

I love writing about men. To get by in the world you have to know how men think. Not that all guys think alike, but women tend to think about more things at the same time, an overgeneralization, but I find it easier to make my male characters focus than I do my female characters.

If you have someone falling out of the boat, you'd have to drag the boat up the river and film the same scene ten times, every time, dragging the boat exactly where it was up the river.

Weirdly the writing experience has not really changed that much except it used to be that I was busy because I had to work a couple of jobs to earn money, so I didn't have time to write.

I think back when I was kind of a crappy writer, I really did know my time was better spent working and having adventures and seeing the world.
