Guns Are Dangerous And Damaging

I Always Feel It Is A Shortcoming Of Mine As A Reader And As A Writer That I Frankly Need To Like Somebody.

Do You Want To Do This Thing? Sit Down And Do It. Are You Not Writing? Keep Sitting There. Does It Not Feel Right? Keep Sitting There. Think Of Yourself As A Monk Walking The Path To Enlightenment. Think Of Yourself As A High School Senior Wanting To Be A Neurosurgeon. Is It Possible? Yes. Is There Some Shortcut? Not One I've Found. Writing Is A Miserable, Awful Business. Stay With It. It Is Better Than Anything In The World.

When Well Told, A Story Captured The Subtle Movement Of Change. If A Novel Was A Map Of A Country, A Story Was The Bright Silver Pin That Marked The Crossroads.

Guns Are Dangerous And Damaging Even When No One Gets Shot. They Really Do Loom.

I Believe, In My Better Moments, That There Is A Plan And Things Go Not The Way We Want Them To But The Way They Should.
