Do I Enjoy Writing?
What do you enjoy most about writing? I’m not so sure that I enjoy writing. It’s something I am compelled to do. When I don’t write I get irritable. It’s like a compulsion. I would relate writing to eating. I can skip a meal, but can’t go long without food. Writing is like that for…

Depends on the Goal
How do you plan your goals? I have always been a fly by the seat of my pants sort of human in my personal life. I spend a lot of time in my day job and career working toward goals and targets, so in my home life I prefer spontaneity. My life is very much…
