For me the hardest part of being an inside-out writer is the emotional stamina it takes. I often don't have it. Writing my last novel SODOM, GOMORRAH & JONES practically gave me a nervous breakdown, it's so fucking right on about my particular view of the world. A very cogent review of it by a woman at Amazon ends by saying she hopes she can become as happy at the end as my protagist, CJ. Guess what? I hope I can,, too! A lot of my work is wishful thinking and my main characters adjust a hell of a lot better than I do.
I should have gotten my degree from Cal Tech and become a college math teacher ha ha.
