It is odd that we never question the feasibility of a football team practicing long hours for one game; yet in writing we rarely give ourselves the space for practice.

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

Shut up and write anyway. Don't use anything as an excuse.

The only failure in writing is when you stop doing it. Then you fail yourself.

Handwriting is more connected to the movement of the heart.

So even though I couldn't bear writing about cancer, I faced it every day.

Kill the idea of the lone, suffering artist. Don't make it any harder on yourself.
