What I'm trying to do right now is truly answer my most deepest most unarticulated questions for myself through my writing in some form.

I think nothing, at an objective level, is either right or wrong.

In the first 27 years of my life, I never had written a single non-technical word. I went to engineering college and went to business school. I never knew I could write fiction of any form.

I have been meditating for many years now, but I think for quite a few years my relationship with meditation was very intellectual. I would do meditation for all the usual things that you would think about, to be more calm, be more productive, relieve stress.

What has happened in most of my books is the call to the extraordinary world, the hero's push, or that push has come to him.

The whole idea is that the combination of tight activity and slack activity allows me to be both productive and creative at the same time. In the four years that I am actually working in a proper job, I am earning money and I'm also writing with a lot of discipline on the side.
