I started writing seriously when I was about 12. I am always in the mood.

This is how a man looks when he's deciding that the risk of death is better than the risk of change.

As always at these times when he felt really in need of God the front of his mind was serene, but the deeper part, where faith did constant battle with doubt, was terrified that there would be no answer.

If it's ka it'll come like a wind, and your plans will stand before it no more than a barn before a cyclone

Fear is the emotion that makes us blind.

As with all other aspects of the narrative art, you will improve with practice, but practice will never make you perfect. Why should it? What fun would that be?

The things a man sees when he ain't got a gun.--Watson the Caretaker
