Agent to the Stars

introduction

Hi there.
In the summer of 1997, I was 28 years old, and I decided that after years of thinking about writing a novel, I was simply going to go ahead and write one.

There were two motivations for doing so. First, I was simply curious if I could; I’d had up to that time a reasonably successful life as a writer, but I’d never written anything longer than ten pages in my life outside of a classroom setting.

Two, my ten-year high school reunion was coming up, and I wanted to be able to
say I’d finished a novel just in case anyone asked (they didn’t, the bastards).

In sitting down to write the novel, I decided to make it easy on myself. I decided first that I wasn’t going to try to write something near and dear to my heart, just a fun story. That way, if I screwed it up (which was a real possibility), it wasn’t like I was screwing up the One Story That Mattered To Me.

I decided also that the goal of writing the novel was the actual writing of it — not the selling of it, which is usually the goal of a novelist. I didn’t want to worry about whether it was good enough to sell; I just wanted to have the experience of writing a story over the length of a novel, and see what I thought about it. Not every writer is a novelist; I wanted to see if I was.

“Forty five percent whacking off,” I said. “Your record company’s own estimate.
Tea, Amanda’s working with me

She’s my assistant.”
