I never thought about it at all.
I mean, my first job was in advertising in New York City.
Right out of college.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I guess at the time I thought, oh, I'd love to write a commercial that people said, oh, that was great.
It was so funny.
I love that thing.
So that sort of got me kind of a little bit started into the idea of storytelling.
And then I had a boss.
His name was Ed Hannibal.
And he wrote a book kind of at home and it became a hit.
You know, and it was called Chocolate Days, Popsicle Weeks.
And he quit to become like a novelist.
And so I thought, well, shit, why don't I do that?
You know, so that was what sort of started me into it.
You know, being completely naive and totally stupid, you know, and having no idea of what I was doing.
But I met a lot of nice people and I learned a lot of stuff in that, you know.
You said that was in New York City?
It was in New York City.
