Planning to write is not writing.

I've known several cases of writers who decide to write about something and they research the hell out of it and when they're ready to write, they can't move because they are so burdened. I start writing. Whatever I need somehow comes to hand.

I thought of myself as a writer for years before I got around to writing anything.

I have been everywhere because I don't know what I'm looking for.
