Man of means

I enjoyed reading this: The Scotsman interviews Stephen King

He says, proving again that no matter how wealthy and successful you become, if you're a writer, it's still all about getting those words down on a regular basis:

“Because we do this and nobody really knows what it is we do or why we need the time to do it, even in the minds of people who are participating in our good fortune. They don’t seem to have the understanding that you need time and tranquillity to work and that anything on top of that is a diversion from the main job.”

At the moment, I could do with a little of that time and tranquility myself. Too many diversions, too many diversions...
