<p><span class="strongInContent"> I was surprised by the response when I announced the release of the book. I used to love writing, and many people said, &#8216;I&#8217;d like to see more of your writing,&#8217; so I&#8217;m happy to be able to meet their expectations.&#8221; I would like to try my hand at volleyball, which I have been pursuing for 25 years, and at a new genre of work. I want this to be a year of pursuing what I want to do.&#8221;</span></p>
