There Is No Security, No Assurance That

The Correctness And Quality Of What You Write Do Not Matter; The Act Of Writing Does.

As Writers We Live Life Twice, Like A Cow That Eats Its Food Once And Then Regurgitates It To Chew And Digest It Again. We Have A Second Chance At Biting Into Our Experience And Examining It. ...this Is Our Life And It's Not Going To Last Forever. There Isn't Time To Talk About Someday Writing That Short Story Or Poem Or Novel. Slow Down Now, Touch What Is Around You, And Out Of Care And Compassion For Each Moment And Detail, Put Pen To Paper And Begin To Write.

Sometimes When You Think You Are Done, It Is Just The Edge Of Beginning. Probably That's Why We Decide We're Done. It's Getting Too Scary. We Are Touching Down Onto Something Real. It Is Beyond The Point When You Think You Are Done That Often Something Strong Comes Out.

Our Lives Are At Once Ordinary And Mythical. At The Same Instant We Have These Magnificent Hearts That Pump Through All Sorrow And All Winters We Are Alive On The Earth.

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