I felt like It should be something everyone can read, especially teens. I was young and wild; it was the 90s`, we made money, we made mistakes; I'm not sure what I can get away with. A more mature version of this is coming.

• Q. Finally, what are your goals and aspirations as a writer? Where do you see yourself and your writing career in the future?
