First and foremost, I'm a writer. That's not just what I do, it's who and what
I *am*. So of all the things I do, that's when I'm most in my element. John
Flinn can beat me on stage in composing a shot, John Copeland can configure a
fight scene better in editing than I can (most days), Chris Franke can come up
with touches in music that I would never think of...

But behind the keyboard, nobody can touch me. (Hmm...I wonder what my
subconscious would make of that statement; I think I just said more than I
wanted to.)

Anyway...this is where I'm at home. My goal is real simple: to write better
than anyone who can write faster than me, and faster than anyone who can write
better than me.
