Catering is extremely demanding financially and physically. It's a business.

One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.

In a mystery, the sleuth must be believably involved and emotionally invested in solving the crime.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

With literary fiction, generally a film maker falls in love with a book. In commercial fiction, it's a producer or studio falling in love with a book they can make into a movie with worldwide appeal.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
