Our Job As Writers Is To Listen,

Trust In What You Love, Continue To Do It, And It Will Take You Where You Need To Go. And Don't Worry Too Much About Security. You Will Eventually Have A Deep Security When You Begin To Do What You Want.

This Is The Practice School Of Writing. Like Running, The More You Do It, The Better You Get At It.

Writing Practice Brings Us Back To The Uniqueness Of Our Own Minds And An Acceptance Of It. We All Have Wild Dreams, Fantasies, And Ordinary Thoughts. Let Us To Feel The Texture Of Them And Not Be Afraid Of Them.writing Is Still The Wildest Thing I Know.

I Remember A Friend Many Years Ago Who Had Taped A Sign To His Refrigerator: There's A Dream Dreaming Us. If You Try To Think About What That Means It Makes Your Mind Silly, But That Silliness Is Good.

I Have Students That I Tell, "if Your Book Doesn't Sell Or You Can't Publish It, Write Another Book. Quit Sitting Around." The Publishing World Is A Business, But It's Not Any Big Deal. An Editor Is Not Your Guru. Your Agent Is Not Your Guru.
