Anyone can make a story. I could make a story about you reading this and you could make up a story about how you have read this and that you could do much better than me.

Why I spent the best part of my twenties and early thirties writing novels that no-one seemed to want is still a mystery to me.

To date I have ten unpublished novels sitting in one of my filing cabinets.

Apart from the occasional poem in response to events, I ceased to write poetry in any meaningful manner in the mid 1990s. I guess I ran out of anger and I now leave it to more able poets to remind the world of where it is going wrong.

If your career is a failure, then make sure you are a success as a person. Some celebrities get it the wrong way round.
