Cervantes was a Spanish Marine. He was captured by Barbary Pirates and held as a POW [slave] for 5 years until his folks and The Church paid his ransom. He started writing after he got back to Spain.
I like the rocker ball idea and my system is working well so I hesitate to make any changes. If it's not broken...

That said, I always thought Cervantes wrote don Quixote de la Mancha while he was in prison. Just the same, it was required reading in my Spanish class back in high school and it turned out to be one of my favorite books to this day.
