A Writer Must Say Yes To Life.

It Used To Be With Chocolate. I Would Put Chocolate In My Studio And Say, "you Know, Nat, There's This Chocolate You Can Have If You Get Over There." And Usually If I Got Over There, I Would Start Writing. Sometimes I Need Get Out Of The House And Go To A Café And Write. Sometimes I'll Write With Other Friends To Get Myself Going. And Sometimes I Just Say "ok, Nat, Enough. Go One Hour. Keep Your Hand Going." I'll Do Whatever It Takes.

As Writers We Need To Crack Open Language.

We Never Graduate From First Grade. Over And Over, We Have To Go Back To The Beginning.

Don't Let Yourself Be Thrown Away....continue On No Matter What....continue To Make A Positive Effort For The Good.

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