In writing practice, there's no direction. You enter your own mind and follow it where it takes you. We have a great need to connect with our own mind and our own true self. And all of us have a story to tell.

I am free to write the worst junk in the world.

Great lovers realize that they are what they are in love with.

I feel very rich when I have time to write and very poor when I get a regular paycheck and no time at my real work.

I still write with pen and paper and have someone type it on a computer. But rewriting I do by hand.

In the middle of the world, make one positive step. In the center of chaos, make one definitive act. Just write.

In writing with detail, you are turning to face the world. It is a deeply political act, because you are not staying in the heat of your own emotions. You are offering up some good solid bread for the hungry.
