I've lived in New York for 40 years. I came right after college.
At least I can write.
I love theme parks but I'm a real chicken on rides. I'd rather invent scary rides for my books than go on them for real.
Read. Read. Read. Just don't read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different styles.
I'm a total Disney freak. I want to live in Disney World.
Well, when I was 13, for my bar mitzvah I received my first typewriter. And that was special.
