Another from my life: I got accepted to an MFA program after finishing college, then learned how much I liked having money over the summer between the two. I was getting emails from my other life as a creative writing student up to three years ago.

I had an idea for a book in 2004. I had no professional writing experience, but I had interviewed bands, read a lot of books on bands, and knew a few things about playing in a band. I decided to write the book and it led to me being a freelancer. No regrets.
