I Don't Think I've Left

I Think It's Dangerous To Think You Know What You're Writing. I Usually Don't Know, And Usually I Just Discover It In The Course Of Writing. I Envy Those Writers Who Can Outline A Beginning, A Middle, And End. Fitzgerald Supposedly Did It. John Irving Does. Bret Easton Ellis Does. But For Me, The Writing Itself Is The Process Of Discovery. I Can't See All That Far Ahead.

I Like The Fact That I'm Living In The World Rather Than In A University.

The Only Thing Worse For Smoking Than Drinking Is Quitting Drinking. Because Then It's The Only Thing You Can Do.

I Realized That I Might Not Ever Make It As A Writer, That It Might Be Because I Wasn't Good Enough, Or That It Might Be Because The Odds Were Just Too Long.

I Don't Want To Have My Life Fall Apart For My Work.
