Quotations: "My primary motivation for writing is communication. I am driven to share my experiences with others, but part of my Motivation is the actual writing—placing words on Paper for others to read. While I don’t think of myself as an artful writer, I enjoy the art of the writing process. Writing is also a means of making a living. I am one of those lucky people who enjoy what they do for a living, but it wasn’t always that way."
Farace is a member of the Train Collectors Association and the Porsche Club of America.
Farace works best in the early morning and often finishes a thousand or more words in the first hour of the day, which starts for him around seven o’clock. He likes to work on several projects at once. He never works on the same project for more than an hour or two.
