I hid my underwear beneath a parked Peugeot.

Mostly I have to try to censor myself so as not to write things that will hurt other people, or that will go too far.

It was one of those days when every time I went to go out the door, something grabbed me in the back of the brain and said, lie down and masturbate one more time.

One last thing on objectives - I like to make things, create things, so that's probably been the primary objective all along, even before the ego objective - to make. To record. But why record... that gets back to the ego, a little. Oh, well. Making is good. I like to make things.

A lot of writing is a form of seeing - putting down what you see in terms of action and landscape.

For me, books have always been a way to feel less alone while being alone.

Something has happened where you almost never grow up in America. Maybe it's the greater wealth.
