You realize there a trillion other Americans in their cars at that same moment listening to various things on the radio. So now that I'm not doing that, and I spend most of my time by myself, writing, I long for it again. Not so seriously that I would want to have to work like that again, to have that kind of job. I mean I don't get ridiculous about it. I enjoy that aspect of it very much, and I really love the culture of business.
Writing is so insular an activity, it's a nice break from it.
Even working with magazines over the past year has been more collaborative than just writing a novel, and I really enjoy it. You're writing for TV as well. I sort of end up scanning. I'm very much aware of what's on, and I'm particularly interested in what's on in what I call the periphery of television, which is cable non-fiction television, like talk shows and CNN, ESPN, shopping networks, all that sort of thing. Yeah, all the periphery.
