I hate wasting time or money and that happens all the time for no good reason, and then people save money by skimping on the important things.
Eventually, everyone said, Why don't you direct? It would save time. And that's how it started.
But I now think what I was doing, in a completely unconscious way, was getting off the turf where my husband and I might be rivals. We were both working in fiction... so I look back and I see that I consciously vacated the contested ground.
