I'm very aware there are lots of other people who are just bright and working just as hard, with just the same dedication to make the world a good place.
I'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.
I love writing about men. To get by in the world you have to know how men think. Not that all guys think alike, but women tend to think about more things at the same time, an overgeneralization, but I find it easier to make my male characters focus than I do my female characters.
