I Honor English Majors. It's A Dumb

I Read Eve Ensler And Thought It Was Fabulous. Not Only That, But It Was Really The Only Thing I Could Relate To About Cancer.

[t]he One Thing I Want For You Is To Recognize When You Are Really Singing In Writing Practice And Honor That. Trust That. When You Were Screaming On The Page. Maybe That Doesn't Make A Whole Book But That Is The True Seed.

Stress Is Basically A Disconnection From The Earth, A Forgetting Of The Breath. Stress Is An Ignorant State. It Believes That Everything Is An Emergency. Nothing Is That Important. Just Lie Down.

When You Write What You Know, You Stay In Control. One Of The First Things I Encourage My Writing Students To Do Is To Lose Control - Say What They Want To Say, Break Structure.

My Goal Is To Write Every Day. I Say It Is My Ideal. I Am Careful Not To Pass Judgment Or Create Anxiety If I Do Not Do It. No One Lives Up To His Ideal.
