In its current incarnation in my life touring is a lot of airports and hotels and car services and only OK food.

In 1998, I started a blog, something I could control very easily and update at my own whim.

I'd love to be able to write crazy epic plots. I'm working on it.

I just think structure can make a book feel so much bigger. It's the architecture. You could use flimsy materials if you wanted to, even, but it could still feel big.

I find that short stories are almost like palate cleansers, or brain cleansers.

I smoked for many years like a total idiot.

The fascinating thing about food is that if you have issues with it, you have to face it every single day.
