There Are Cities That Get By On

It's Like Seeing Someone For The First Time, And You Look At Each Other For A Few Seconds, And There's This Kind Of Recognition Like You Both Know Something. Next Moment The Person's Gone, And It's Too Late To Do Anything About It.

Never Use The Words 'suddenly' Or 'all Hell Broke Loose.'

I Still Read Hemingway. I Still Read His Short Stories Because They're So Good. He Doesn't Waste Any Words.

I Think Any Writer Is A Fool If He Doesn't Do It For Money. There Needs To Be Some Kind Of Incentive In Addition To The Project. It All Goes Together. It's Fun To Sit There And Think Of Characters And Get Them Into Action, Then Be Paid For It. I Can't Believe It When Writers Tell Me 'i Don't Want To Show My Work To Anybody'.

I Have Fun Writing. I Don't Make It A Chore. I Don't Have To Struggle With It.
