I could care less about sitting around and practicing the guitar for hours a day and trying to be the best guitar player on the planet.
I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.
If I have any advantage, maybe, as a writer, it is that I don't think I'm very interesting. I mean, beginning a novel with the last sentence is a pretty plodding way to spend your life.
