The idea of me writing something that I'd get to be in as well was not what I saw coming. I do think that life works that way. When you kind of let go of something and accept that it hasn't worked, it takes all the pressure off, and then you end up getting it.

That was the age when I began my life as a runner, and it was my belated, but real, starting point as a novelist.
