There Is Nothing In The Dark That

I'd Love To Be Able To Write An In-depth Piece Of What Causes Men Like [richard] Nixon And [h.r.]haldeman And [john] Ehrlichman And All The Rest Of Them Not Only To Run, But What Causes Us To Vote For Them.

Not Since The British Raided Cologne Had So Many Bombs Landed In Such A Small Space In Such A Short Time.

Writers Vary Tremendously. Was It Tom Wolfe Who Stood Up Or Was It [ernest] Hemingway Who Had To Stand Up? I Don't Know.

This Is, If Not A Lifetime Process, It's Awfully Close To It. The Writer Broadens, Becomes Deeper, Becomes More Observant, Becomes More Tempered, Becomes Much Wiser Over A Period Time Passing. It Is Not Something That Is Injected Into Him By A Needle. It Is Not Something That Comes On A Wave Of Flashing, Explosive Light One Night And Say, 'huzzah! Eureka! I've Got It!' And Then Proceeds To Write The Great American Novel In Eleven Days. It Doesn't Work That Way. It's A Long, Tedious, Tough, Frustrating Process, But Never, Ever Be Put Aside By The Fact That It's Hard.

A Basic “must” For Every Writer: A Simple Solitude-physical & Mental.
