I like working with people who are good at their jobs, who know what they're doing.
And I kind of enjoy learning from them and seeing what they do.
Well, funnily, it kind of goes back to what I was just talking about, except it's the opposite.
It's where I don't work with anyone.
It's the one thing in my life that I really do feel a sense of ownership over, you know, in that it's the only thing I have in my life that doesn't involve meetings.
Everything else, you know, you've got to sit in a room with people.
There's, you know, there's compromise, there's push, there's pull.
This is me in a room and those books
They only exist because of me and they only fail or succeed because of me.
And I kind of, I like that.
Now I wouldn't, I couldn't just do that.
I'd go a bit doolally if I was just in a room all day doing writing, but as a reaction to everything else I do, I love it.
And I started when I was 50 and it kind of goes back to what the hippies were saying.
You know, I loved waking up age 52, a debut novelist.
Because I think, you know, you kind of think,
your days of being a debut anything are probably behind you.
But there it was.
Again, more time than you think you have.
I do have those moments of kind of like... In fact, every September, when I get back into the studio, I do have a slight sense of that, where how lucky am I that I'm back in this chair that I've sat in for nearly 30 years.
You know, soon there's going to be an audience there.
