I think the next thing I publish will be for children, but I don't really want to be held to that because I also know what my next book for adults will be, and I really like that, too, so it depends. I've always had more than one thing going.
I don't need to publish to make a living.
I've been writing my entire life, and I'll always write. But at times I have told myself that I don't necessarily have to publish anything else.
