Talk When You Talk, Walk When You

Watch Yourself. Every Minute We Change. It Is A Great Opportunity. At Any Point, We Can Step Out Of Our Frozen Selves And Our Ideas And Begin Fresh.

In Writing Practice, There's No Direction. You Enter Your Own Mind And Follow It Where It Takes You. We Have A Great Need To Connect With Our Own Mind And Our Own True Self. And All Of Us Have A Story To Tell.

Sometimes People Say To Me, “i Want To Write, But I Have Five Kids, A Full-time Job, A Wife Who Beats Me, A Tremendous Debt To My Parents,” And So On. I Say To Them, “there Is No Excuse. If You Want To Write, Write. This Is Your Life. You Are Responsible For It. You Will Not Live Forever. Don’t Wait. Make The Time Now, Even If It Is Ten Minutes Once A Week."

Once You Have Learned To Trust Your Own Voice And Allowed That Creative Force Inside You To Come Out, You Can Direct It To Write Short Stories, Novels, And Poetry, Do Revisions, And So On. You Have The Basic Tool To Fulfill Your Writing Dreams. But Beware. This Type Of Writing Will Uncover Other Dreams You Have, Too-going To Tibet, Being The First Woman President Of The United States, Building A Solar Studio In New Mexico-and They Will Be In Black And White. It Will Be Harder To Avoid Them.

Kill The Idea Of The Lone, Suffering Artist. Don't Make It Any Harder On Yourself.
