"The anger I have about high school - which I do have because they discouraged every interest I ever had; actually I call it anti-education - that anger led to my career."

I think the most important thing is just to write. It sounds so simple, but sometimes it's not. You can get so distracted - -by having to work other jobs, or what other people have to say about your writing - -but the one thing that really matters is that you just keep going, especially when you're working on a novel. It's so easy to get discouraged and give up.
