Some of my favorite fiction authors include Nick Hornby, Jonathan Tropper, James Bailey and of course, Matthew Norman. These are authors I aspire to be. The challenge of course is I have a tendency to be a bit more dramatic in my writing than I perceive them to be. As author Jane Austen said: ‘I am not at all in a humour for writing; I must write on until I am.’ I hope someday to not be so serious and to lighten up. I’m working on it in my second novel which will be a mix of humor and emotional conflict. Am I schizophrenic?
