Hemingway Said The Only Way To Write

I Have Traveled The Entire State And Spent A Lot Of Time Out Of Doors. So I Have Known The Landscape Of The Columbia Basin For Quite A While, And I Have Had This Strong Feeling About It For Many Years.

When It Comes Time To Sit Down And Write The Next Book, You're Deathly Afraid That You're Not Up To The Task. That Was Certainly The Case With Me After Snow Falling On Cedars.

What Sustains Me Is To Be With My Family And To Write.

Even Though I May Not Intend It When I Set Out To Write The Book, These Places Just Emerge As Major Players In What I'm Doing, Almost As If They Are Insisting On It.

I Know You'll Think This Is Crazy, But All I Want To Do Is Hold You, And I Think That If You'll Let Me Do That Just For A Few Seconds, I Can Walk Away, And Never Speak To You Again.
