A Writer Must Say Yes

You Don't Need To Go To A Therapist, You Don't Need To Do All Kinds Of Things. If You Want To Write, You Physically Have To Do It.

A Responsibility Of Literature Is To Make People Awake, Present, Alive. If The Writer Wanders, Then The Reader, Too, Will Wander.

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

I Think Book Publishing Is Fun, But I Also Know I've Been Very Lucky.

Sometimes People Say To Me, “i Want To Write, But I Have Five Kids, A Full-time Job, A Wife Who Beats Me, A Tremendous Debt To My Parents,” And So On. I Say To Them, “there Is No Excuse. If You Want To Write, Write. This Is Your Life. You Are Responsible For It. You Will Not Live Forever. Don’t Wait. Make The Time Now, Even If It Is Ten Minutes Once A Week."
