It's hard.

I think making anything that you care about, if you're making dinner for your family, if you're starting a company, if you make a thing like you're making here, like I make, if you care about a thing, it's hard.

That's just the way it is.

So that's number one.

Number two is I love, love, love what I do.

And I'm very grateful for that because I know there are a lot of people in the world that do the work they do because they need to earn a living to take care of their family.

I respect that more than I respect, yeah, I get to do what I like.

So it's kind of like play.

So I feel a little bit guilty about that, but I've gotten over feeling guilty about it.

The hard part is even with all the tools, even with good AI, even with a great staff, even with more experience, et cetera, you have to be on your game all the time.

The thing that would worry me is if I stop having ideas.

You're only as good as your ideas.

And this is all I do.

I don't have a job.

I don't have that many commitments.

I'm a good dad and father, but my family has really supported me when I have to go or do or think.

Because when you're a writer, you're just in your head a lot.

It's all I do.

And so I keep having ideas and I like having ideas.

And I think ideas are one of the single best things about us humans and that the AIs will have facsimiles of it, but not the way we do.
