If you love the work, it will love you back.

We walk through so many myths of each other and ourselves; we are so thankful when someone sees us for who we are and accepts us.

Play around. Dive into absurdity and write. Take chances. You will succeed if you are fearless of failure.

The muscles of writing are not so visible, but they are just as powerful: determination, attention, curiosity, a passionate heart.

Life is not orderly. No matter how we try to make it so, right in the middle of it we die, lose a leg, fall in love, or drop a jar of applesauce.

Writing practice brings us back to the uniqueness of our own minds and an acceptance of it. We all have wild dreams, fantasies, and ordinary thoughts. Let us to feel the texture of them and not be afraid of them.Writing is still the wildest thing I know.

The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.
