This is The Sun’s thirty-first anniversary issue. But for me there’s only one issue: the one I’m working on right now. Since this is my path, I keep walking the path, and sweeping the path, too. I keep an eye out for dragons. Yes, there are dragons. The dragon of playing it safe. The dragon of taking my good fortune for granted. I remind myself what it was like when I started: no money, no acclaim, just me and the work. And all that mattered was giving myself to the work as passionately as I’d ever given myself to any woman. And the work returned my passion. And nothing has changed.
