The dangers of working at home:
The worst writing experience of my life was authoring my Apple book, “Infinite Loop.” It was not bad just because of the subject matter, but because all of the other demands on my life reduced me to writing the book from 11 p.m to about 4 a.m. every night for almost two years.
Let me tell you, at 4 a.m., even your cat abandons you. Raccoons and skunks stare at you as you wander out to get the morning paper. You become a stranger to the daylight world. I realized one day that I had become the crazy unshaven guy in the neighborhood who goes out to the mailbox in his bath robe at 3 in the afternoon as schoolkids are walking home.
If you’re not sure who the crazy guy in the neighborhood is, it’s you. Unless you’re sure it’s you, in which case, it’s you. All of which is to say, it’s me.
