Be Authentic To Your Dreams. Be Authentic To Your Own Idea About Yourself. Grind Away At Your Own Minds And Bodies Until You Become Your Own Invention. Be Mad Scientists.

This Is A Thing You Do At A Table With A Notebook And A Keyboard, And There's No Getting Away From It. Put In The Hours. You Don't Get To Turn Off 'being A Writer.'
