When I was young I wanted to be a detective like Encyclopedia Brown or a superhero like Spider-Man. I never wanted to be what I became.
On the first day of my new job in the IRS bankruptcy unit, I saw the woman who would soon lead to me facing up to twenty years in federal prison.

Just go ahead and assume that your writing will be very popular after you die so you don’t have to worry about it while you’re still alive.
I admire a talented writer in the gutter with a scrap of napkin and a pencil stub more than a billionaire businessman with a mansion and a yacht.
I’ve discovered a lot of great writers that I never would have known about if not for twitter. Twitter is my main bookstore now.

Always carry a good pen with you, just in case you need to write something down or stab someone in the neck.

I drank a lot back then, mostly just beer, but enough beer where I didn’t always feel like going to work the next day, especially on a Monday morning, especially for a position that was a step back for me, maybe two steps, in what had once been a promising government career.
