What's the best writing advice you've ever received? 

Various people have said it different ways. The gist is, shut up about everything else, kick fear aside (we're all gonna be dead soon anyway), and gather all your tools and resources and blind rude chaotic instincts to say what must be said. Also: annihilate expectations attached to its reception.

Where and when do you write? 

When I worked a day job [most of my life] I wrote wherever and whenever I could steal two minutes. I stole time ruthlessly for years. Now, usually mornings until about 2 p.m., in a little studio converted from an old garage in our backyard. But the notes are always being scribbled and the mind churning.
