I spent a few years focused on the craft of fiction writing. Before we had kids, I was sure this was the direction my life would go; after kids, I saw it wasn’t worthy enough to support a family as the sole breadwinner.

(Disclaimer: I love the craft of being an artist, but I hate the poverty of being a starving artist.)

I will probably return to fiction later in life, after I’ve made my fortune. These are the contents of my drawer of unpublished work.
