I love my job, though. I would rather write all day, but when all is said and done, I have a cool job, with nice people as my co-workers and a good work-life balance.

I hope it lasts!

Almost everyone I know hates their job.. I wonder.. if writing became my job would it also become rote? Scary…

Yeah, perfect prose does not an engaging book make…

And I like Gladiator too. :)

My life is too short for bad fiction, and I crave fiction that does something, anything for me.

Having said that, sometimes I want fun pap, but not often, and even then it’s hard to find fun pap that isn’t crap.

Color me a Roman Emperor on the matter ;)
