Pen on Fire is not my most recent book, but it keeps being reprinted so let me talk about that. I wrote it for a student, Robin. She'd come to workshop and do all kinds of great writing but when she went home to write, she couldn't write. This happened over and over. Finally she said, "Will you come and live with me? I'm sure if you lived with me I would be able to write." I said, "I can't do that, but I'll write a book for you." That's how Pen on Fire began: for one student.
