Work could cure almost anything

Never write about a place until you're away from it, because it gives you perspective. Immediately after you've seen something you can give a photographic description of it and make it accurate. That's good practice, but it isn't creative writing.

Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai 'Ngaje Ngai', the House of God. Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.

But did thee feel the earth move?

I don’t. I don’t want anybody else to touch you. I’m silly. I get furious if they touch you.

I am so in love with you that there isn’t anything else.

There is no such thing as great writing - there is only great re-writing!
