I Consider Writing A Legitimate Zen Practice.

I'm Never Ashamed To Read A Book Twice Or As Many Times As I Want. We Never Expect To Drink A Glass Of Water Just Once In Our Lives. A Book Can Be That Essential, Too.

Anything We Fully Do Is An Alone Journey.

When You Are Not Writing, You Are A Writer Too. It Doesn't Leave You.

I Had Cancer For Fourteen Months And Wrote A Memoir About The Experience.

I Hear People Say They're Going To Write. I Ask, When? They Give Me Vague Statements. Indefinite Plans Get Dubious Results. When We're Concrete About Our Writing Time, It Alleviates That Thin Constant Feeling Of Anxiety That Writers Have - We're Barbecuing Hot Dogs, Riding A Bike, Sailing Out In The Bay, Shopping For Shoes, Even Helping A Sick Friend, But Somewhere Nervously At The Periphery Of Our Perception We Know We Belong Somewhere Else - At Our Desk!
