Smashwords Interview

How do you deal with writer’s block?
I usually don't experience writer's block. I usually experience the exact opposite, writer's vomit, which is where I take a simple idea and muddy it up with affected prose until the idea isn't recognizable. I catch most of these during my revision process, which is a considerably lengthy one because of all the writing vomit I spew during the creation stage.
What's the best thing about being a writer?
The best thing about being a writer is never calling myself a writer, or an artist, or a novelist, or an author. The labels just sound so pretentious to my ears. Referring to myself as any one of them gives me the heebie-jeebies. My creative life is so much more varied than being a writer, I assure you.
