It's Called Living (and I plan to do more of it)

It has been six years since your last novel
was published, and I gather you weren’t writing for some of that time.
What were you doing? Jack Daniel’s and the “Today” show?
Living,
it’s called living. You might call it wasting time, but I just call it
living. Going bird hunting, reading books, watching the Red Sox, doing
things with my wife that we wouldn’t have time to do if I was writing a
book. There’s a whole lot to do once you can get out from under the yoke
of working.
