When I Hit A Block, Regardless Of What I Am Writing, What The Subject Matter Is, Or What's Going On In The Plot, I Go Back And I Read Pablo Neruda's Poetry. I Don't Actually Speak Spanish, So I Read It Translation. But I Always Go Back To Neruda. I Don't Know Why, But It Calms Me, Calms My Brain.

You Never Know What's Going To Happen In Your Life, And You Never Know What's Going To Happen In Someone Else's Life Either.

Wash The Bones, Bring The Body, Leave The Heart Behind.
