For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.
I actually defeated an incumbent Republican senator who was part of the Jesse Helm's political machine in North Carolina, the result of which is I'm now the senior senator from North Carolina instead of Jesse Helms, which is a very good thing for this country.
I was trying to perform as best as possible. I was a boy at the time, but worked well with the sickle.
