Anytime that I've felt uninspired, I don't force myself to sit down and write. I only do it when I feel the impulse.
I obtained a job at the Library of Congress. I loved books, so I felt at home. I was going to end up, I thought, majoring in English and teach at the college level.
I'm taking my time. I feel much more confident, and every day I feel like I'm getting better.
