Writing is an all the time occupation. Even on vacation, asleep, and while waiting in line you're working on your latest project. A stray conversation, an odd dream, a meeting with an interesting person can give you the element you're missing in your novel. Waiting in line or at the doctor's office allows you time to live inside your novel. Personally I don't know how other people behave so well without escaping to another world. Do the old magazines telling about a celebrity marriage that has already ended in divorce really grab their attention? Didn't they notice the couple fighting in the bar? How about that woman wearing the big orange hat?

I'm afraid I'm a writer first. While I want you to buy and to read my book, "JustMe:" I have to write the next novel. The real world is not enough for someone who straddles the world they live in and the one they have create through their writing.
