Be bold, free, and truthful.

You have to hold your audience in writing to the very end-much more than in talking, when people have to be polite and listen to you.

I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like child stringing beads in kindergarten, - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another.

So remember these two things: you are talented and you are original. Be sure of that. I say this because self-trust is one of the very most important things in writing.

The tragedy of bold, forthright, industrious people is that they act so continuously without much thinking, that it becomes dry and empty.

Try to discover your true, honest, untheoretical self.

Since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of time, you are incomparable.
