Read Books. They Are Good

If You're Having Difficulty Coming Up With New Ideas, Then Slow Down. For Me, Slowing Down Has Been A Tremendous Source Of Creativity. It Has Allowed Me To Open Up -- To Know That There's Life Under The Earth And That I Have To Let It Come Through Me In A New Way. Creativity Exists In The Present Moment. You Can't Find It Anywhere Else.

As Writers We Live Life Twice, Like A Cow That Eats Its Food Once And Then Regurgitates It To Chew And Digest It Again. We Have A Second Chance At Biting Into Our Experience And Examining It. ...this Is Our Life And It's Not Going To Last Forever. There Isn't Time To Talk About Someday Writing That Short Story Or Poem Or Novel. Slow Down Now, Touch What Is Around You, And Out Of Care And Compassion For Each Moment And Detail, Put Pen To Paper And Begin To Write.

I Love And Care About Literature, And Great Writers Are Our Teachers. You're Studying Their Mind When You Read Their Work.

The Harder You Chase Something, The Faster You Go And The Less You're Able To Let Life Meet Life. If You're Having Difficulty Coming Up With New Ideas, Then Slow Down.

I Don't Know Anything But Writing Practice, And So What I Really Do Is Direct That Energy As If It Were Flowing Down A River.
