I've Been Writing For A Long Time,

Steve Martin

I've been writing for a long time, since the late '60s. but it hasn't been in the same form. i used to write scripts for television. i wrote for my comedy act. then i wrote screenplays, and then i started writing new yorker essays, and then i started writing plays. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the new yorker essays, but they were comic. i didn't start writing prose, really, until the '90s. in my head, there was a link between everything. one thing led to another.
