I Don't Want To Force My Politics

I'm Being Followed So Much I'm Causing Traffic Jams.

I Learned That Lesson A Long Time Ago. When You Write Popular Fiction, You're Going To Get Bashed By Critics.

I Still Enjoy The Process Of Writing. If I Ever Feel Like I Am Going Through The Motions Because I Can Sell Anything At This Level, I Hope That Somebody, Somewhere Who I Trust Will Tell Me To Take A Break And Stop Because It's Sounding Old. But So Far, I Don't Feel Like I'm Boring Anyone.

My Mum Was Never Too Keen On Tv, So We Kids All Went To The Library And Got Books Out. Right From The Start, I Loved The Works Of Mark Twain. Every Time I Read About Tom Sawyer, I'd Go Out And Do Something Low-level Naughty, Just Like Him.

I Was On The Verge Of Tears, So I Turned And Ran Past The Trailer And Along The Field Road Until I Was Safely Out Of Their Sight. Then I Ducked Into The Cotton And Waited For Friendly Voices. I Sat On The Hot Ground, Surrounded By Stalks Four Feet Tall, And I Cried, Something I Really Hated To Do.
