Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness.

I want to feel all there is to feel, he thought. Let me feel tired, now, let me feel tired. I mustn't forget, I'm alive, I know I'm alive, I mustn't forget it tonight or tomorrow or the day after that.

Sometimes you have intuitive insight about how you think things are going to be, and you write that. Other times you fantasize completely, which has nothing to do with predicting the future.

Your intuition knows what to write, so get out of the way.

In order to be creative, you don't have to be original.

Write a thousand words a day and in three years you'll be a writer!

Just write every day of your life. Read intensely.
