When I was in the factory, I was keeping a journal. Writing took my mind off the line. I hated being in the factory. When I was writing, I forgot I was there. I d tried fiction, but I knew it was terrible.
Fiction takes a long time.
I didn t really feel comfortable with fiction until my late thirties, early forties. I d tried it, but I wasn t happy with the results. The University of Michigan. I realized I was wrong for that when I ran the campaign of a Senator in Flint and Saginaw. I just didn t like politics.
