It all depends on which side of the desk you're sitting on.

I would like immortality.

You can read a dozen different textbooks or how-to manuals that will tell you the basic rules of what makes a story - a beginning, a middle, and an end.

A writer writes. Period. No matter if someone is buying your work or not.

I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.
