I was 30 before I made a living that was not embarrassing.
I think I have a very clear vision of what I want things to look like.
I'm a fan of parchment and wood pulp.
Even if I only had 10 readers, I'd rather do the book for them than for a million readers online.
I try personally not to be nostalgic.
As soon as I'm finished with it, it feels like an impersonal project. Like, "Well, I did another book."
