A Pen Connects You To The Paper.

I Won't Read A Book That Starts With A Description Of The Weather. I Don't Read Books Over 300 Pages, Though I'll Make An Exception For Don Delillo.

I Do Have Fun Writing, And A Long Time Ago, I Told Myself, 'you Got To Have Fun At This, Or It'll Drive You Nuts.'

Never Open A Book With Weather. There Are Exceptions. If You Happen To Be Barry Lopez, Who Has More Ways To Describe Ice And Snow Than An Eskimo, You Can Do All The Weather Reporting You Want.

Everyone Has His Own Sound. I'm Not Going To Presume How To Tell Anybody How To Write.

If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It. Or, If Proper Usage Gets In The Way, It May Have To Go. I Can't Allow What We Learned In English Composition To Disrupt The Sound And Rhythm Of The Narrative.
