Well, I started my career in law, I went to law school, and then I was actually clerking for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, when I decided that I wanted to be a writer. I started out by having an idea for a book before I even thought about being writing that book, I was going for a walk on Capitol Hill one day, during my lunch hour. And I thought to myself, well, what am I interested in that everybody in the world is interested in, and I thought, well, power, money, fame, sex. And it was like power, money, fame, sex. And I just ran out and started researching those subjects, which to me felt very tied together. And this is something that has happened to me ever since I was very young, I'll get intensely interested in something and do a huge amount of research and writing and note taking. So that was a very familiar process for me. But with this project, it just got bigger and bigger and bigger. And finally, I thought, well, this is the kind of thing people would do if they were going to write a book. And then I thought, well, you know, maybe I could write that book. And so I went to the bookstore and got a book called "How to Write and Sell Your Non-Fiction Book Proposal|". And I pretty much just followed the directions. But you know, I was fortunate because it one point I thought, you know, at this point, I'd rather fail as a writer than succeed as a lawyer. I didn't really know what I wanted to do in law, but I very much wanted to write this book. It wasn't even that I just wanted to be a writer, I wanted to write this book. So it was sort of like, okay, well, let me take my shot, I'll succeed or fail. And then I'll figure out what to do next. And fortunately for me, I got an agent. And that was indeed my first book. So so it all worked out, which makes it sound much easier than it was, but that that's how I became a writer.
