My dad is this very sensible guy who never let me feel that anything was beyond my station.
I have a lot of novels that I haven't finished. I usually get 150 pages in and I realize it's not going anywhere. I don't publish everything I write. I must have six unfinished novels at least.
But 17 years ago, I arrived at CNN with a suitcase, with my bicycle, and with about 100 dollars.
