Burnout is grist to the mill. I write every day, for most of the day, so it’s just about turning into metaphor whatever’s going on in my life, in the world, and in my head. Every nightmare, every moment of grief or joy or failure, is a moment I can convert into cash via words.

I think burnout is a big thing. If I could do it over again, I’d probably do it the same way, playing other sports when I’m younger.
