When I was younger, I thought I wanted to write the Great American Novel. Eventually I realized that my frame of reference was just a little bit too skewed for that. So I settled on the Great American Science Fiction Novel. My first rejection slip put the kibosh on that for a while, but I've got five non-fiction books under my belt now, so one day I'll try again. But if I really, really did what I wanted, I'd be a screenwriter. Maybe one day I'll take $5K and become an apprentice. Too bad they don't do non-fiction. Maybe I could get them to pay me to be a mentor.
