I Never Miss L.a. Because I'm There

I Think Books With Weak Or Translucent Plots Can Survive If The Character Being Drawn Along The Path Is Rich, Interesting And Multi-faceted. The Opposite Is Not True.

There Is Nothing Like The Start Of A Season, Before All The One-run Losses, Pitching Breakdowns And Missed Opportunities. Before Reality Sets In.

Las Vegas Was Like That. There Was A Visceral Attraction Here. The Bold Promise Of Money And Sex. But The First Was A Broken Promise, A Mirage, And The Second Was Fraught With Danger, Expense, Physical And Mental Risk. It Was Where The Real Gambling Took Place In This Town.

There Is Nothing You Can Do About The Past Except Keep It There.

I Think There's A General Misconception That Anything Written Quickly Lacks Quality, And I Don't Believe That.
