writing political done

writing years long
When I want to tackle a story or a subject, I always ask myself three questions: Is it important to talk about that? Will it interest other people than just me?

writing thinking two
I will see 100 or 200 and I will take my time with them and I audition them for the two main roles.

writing careers giving
Corruption is subtle, just like the Bible said. Many young poets have come to me and asked, How am I gonna make it? They feel, and often with considerable justice, that they are being overlooked while others with less talent are out there making careers for themselves. I always give the same advice. I say, Do it the hard way, and you’ll always feel good about yourself. You write because you have to, and you get this unbelievable satisfaction from doing it well. Try to live on that as long as you’re able.

writing piano division
Why should a novelist not also be a historian? To force unnatural divisions within the English language is to work against its capacious and accommodating nature.
