From about 22 on, my writing has followed three veins: non-fiction about adventure sports, script writing for TV and films, and narrative prose writing. The non-fiction and entertainment stuff funded the narrative writing, otherwise I'd have lived in a dumpster. It took about 30 years for all three veins to flow into narrative prose writing, almost exclusively these days. I'm fortunate to have made a good living, sold a few million books and won awards, but I've learned the most from spectacular failures. It never seems like I know entirely what the hell I'm doing - most every new project feels like a blind date - which is always exciting and a little scary. And that goes for Rogue's Babylon, my current project of Flash Fiction stories (less than 1,000 words per story). I have to excavate four or five ideas to find one that sings, or growls, or gives off some little light. Writing flash is, at times, like trying to dig a hole in the ocean. Humbling, and I'm going sink more times than not. But I've worked up a couple good ones so far, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
