It had spoiled me a little because you have a tremendous amount of autonomy, and I couldn't really see being an editor in an office.

Well, unfortunately, my father passed away before my first book was published, so he never lived to see me as an author. But I think my mum was suitably pleased because she was mad about words. If she ever came across a word that she didn't know, she would always look it up in the dictionary.
