If I could change one thing about my writing

If I could change my writing I would increase my formality – I have always written in a very casual way, none of my work has ever sounded “professional”; it could never be written for an article or a newspaper (though ironically I was the editor of my high school paper).

What is an author

When you read a book or a blog or a newspaper or magazine article, and you find yourself thinking and feeling and relating to the text, and you connect with the work and think “how did this know exactly how I was feeling” -- the heart of the work-- that’s an author.
