The Circus Is The Only Fun You

You Know That Fiction, Prose Rather, Is Possibly The Roughest Trade Of All In Writing. You Do Not Have The Reference, The Old Important Reference. You Have The Sheet Of Blank Paper, The Pencil, And The Obligation To Invent Truer Than Things Can Be True. You Have To Take What Is Not Palpable And Make It Completely Palpable And Also Have It Seem Normal And So That It Can Become A Part Of Experience Of The Person Who Reads It.

I Decided That I Would Write One Story About Each Thing That I Knew About.

Some Other Places Were Not So Good But Maybe We Were Not So Good When We Were In Them.

There Are Events Which Are So Great That If A Writer Has Participated In Them His Obligation Is To Write Truly Rather Than Assume The Presumption Of Altering Them With Invention.

I Was A Little Drunk. Not Drunk In Any Positive Sense But Just Enough To Be Careless.
