Later, my father died up in Marysville. So, my mother and I got in the car and came down to Hollywood.
I fell into playwriting accidentally, took some classes in it, and also took creative writing classes, but I really didn't expect it to be a career because I didn't believe there was a way to make money as a playwright without being lucky and I didn't feel particularly lucky.
Even though I pretty much made my own decisions early on, when I was younger I tended to overbook my life.
