If You Don't Like Someone's Story, Write

When There Is A Big Tree Small Ones Climb On Its Back To Reach The Sun.

A Coward May Cover The Ground With His Words But When The Time Comes To Fight He Runs Away.

The Man That Brings Ant-infested Faggots Into His Hut Should Not Grumble When Lizards Begin To Pay Him A Visit.

It's So Easy To Get Into The Same Routine. A Novel Every Two Years; Perhaps, Improving Technique. But I'm Not Interested In That. I'm Interested In Doing Something Fundamentally Important--and Therefore, It Needs Time. And What I've Been Doing, Really, Is Avoiding This Pressure To Get Into The Habit Of One Novel A Year. This Is What Is Expected Of Novelists. And I Have Never Been Really Too Much Concerned With Doing What Is Expected Of Novelists, Or Writers, Or Artists. I Want To Do What I Believe Is Important.

As Our Fathers Said, You Can Tell A Ripe Corn By Its Look.
