The Only Failure In Writing Is When

Writing Is The Act Of Discovery.

To Stay Close And Intimate With Experience Is To Stay Close To The Mind; The Nitty Gritty Mind Of The Way Things Really Are.

Be Awake To The Details Around You, But Don't Be Self-conscious.

It's Okay To Embark On Writing Because You Think It Will Get You Love. At Least It Gets You Going, But It Doesn't Last. After A While You Realize That No One Cares That Much. Then You Find Another Reason: Money. You Can Dream On That One While The Bills Pile Up. Then You Think: "well, I'm The Sensitive Type. I Have To Express Myself." Do Me A Favor. Don't Be So Sensitive. Be Tough. It Will Get You Further Along When You Get Rejected. Finally, You Just Do It Because You Happen To Like It.

Creativity Exists In The Present Moment. You Can't Find It Anywhere Else.
