I write at a desk. I have a room of my own where I can have my computer. I write in there, usually directly onto my computer. It used to be the room where my two sons used to sleep with the dog and the cat, but now it's all mine. It has pictures of art from my books on the walls.

I write my own music. By myself, on a computer, I program guitar and piano.

I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure.

I write every day. I don't have a writing schedule. I write when I feel like it. Fortunately, I feel like it all the time. I am writing for hours. I do like to write in the morning. I start after breakfast, like 9 o'clock, and I'll write till lunch, about 1. And after lunch, I just have fun.

I write my own quotes. Except this one. I obviously stole this from somebody really clever.

I love the pioneers like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but when I write music, it comes out in my own way.
