You Can't Use Up Creativity. The More You Use, The More You Have.

I Write Because I Am A Black Woman, Listening Attentively To Her People.

Putting Down On Paper What You Have To Say Is An Important Part Of Writing, But The Words And Ideas Have To Be Shaped And Cleaned, Cleaned As Severely As A Dog Cleans A Bone, Cleaned Until There's Not A Shred Of Anything Superfluous.

We Need Much Less Than We Think We Need.
