Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath.

The deepest secret in our heart of hearts is that we are writing because we love the world.

We are each a concert reverberating with our whole lives and reflecting and amplifying the world around us.

My goal is to write every day. I say it is my ideal. I am careful not to pass judgment or create anxiety if I do not do it. No one lives up to his ideal.

I don't know anything but writing practice, and so what I really do is direct that energy as if it were flowing down a river.

You'll lose your reader if you are vague, not clear, and not present. We love details, personal connections, stories.
