The freedom. There's the freedom of not having a boss or a deadline. I can structure my day as I see fit. But even more than that, is the freedom to explore new ideas. Each new novel also becomes an exploration of myself.

Louis Sachar:
Okay, a slightly sillier question than the ones you've been answering, but I'm curious: is Sammy named after a real kid you taught like the rest of the Wayside kids are? What about Sue and Benjamin? I remember you saying that the Wayside kids are all named after actual kids you knew, including three Erics, I'm just curious if there was an actual person unlucky enough to become a dead rat.
