I don't tend to write straight dramas where real life just impinges. But because I don't, when I do, it is very interesting to slap people in the face with just an absolute of life.

In real life, I tend to yell at people a lot. Not because I'm bossy or mean, but because I'm frustrated.

I always like to write where I'm at in real life into whatever I'm working on.

How is it every time we're talking about the real world, you manage to bring up fantasy, and every time we're talking about fantasy, you manage to bring up the real world?

Travis shrugged. "My fantasies are more interesting than the real world and machines and tools are more interesting than you guys' fantasies.

I have very weirdly realistic dreams where it could be real life, except it's not.

Very occasionally, if you pay really close attention, life doesn't suck.
