Poverty Is A Great Equalizer

An Outline Is Crucial. It Saves So Much Time. When You Write Suspense, You Have To Know Where You're Going Because You Have To Drop Little Hints Along The Way. With The Outline, I Always Know Where The Story Is Going. So Before I Ever Write, I Prepare An Outline Of 40 Or 50 Pages.

I Don't Usually Eat Breakfast. I Prefer To Be Asleep During The Hours That It Is Served.

I Earned My First Steady Paycheck Watering Rose Bushes At A Nursery For A Dollar An Hour.

I Was On The Verge Of Tears, So I Turned And Ran Past The Trailer And Along The Field Road Until I Was Safely Out Of Their Sight. Then I Ducked Into The Cotton And Waited For Friendly Voices. I Sat On The Hot Ground, Surrounded By Stalks Four Feet Tall, And I Cried, Something I Really Hated To Do.

Please Give Me Fifty More Years Of Work And Fun, Then An Instant Death When I'm Sleeping.
