Creativity Is No Big Deal.

If You Read Good Books, When You Write, Good Books Will Come Out Of You.

Shut Up And Write. Don't Talk About Writing, Just Physically Do It.

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.

Have Compassion For Yourself When You Write. There Is No Failure - Just A Big Field To Wander In.

Know That You Will Eventually Have To Leave Everything Behind; The Writing Will Demand It Of You.
