I've done a lot. Been to the labs. Been to the range. Been on ride alongs where drug raids have occurred. Every incident is memorable.
Every monthly meeting is memorable.
As a writer, it's important to find the time to write with no outside distractions. I am usually reeling with too much stimulation. I don't know how I get it all done, and no one else does, either. Rejection is the greatest challenge any writer has to face. Lots and lots of rejection.
