Rest Easy And Go With The Faith

The First Thing You Have To Know About Writing Is That It Is Something You Must Do Everyday. There Are Two Reasons For This Rule: Getting The Work Done And Connecting With Your Unconscious Mind.

I Took Up Writing To Escape The Drudgery Of That Every Day Cubicle Kind Of War.

I Write Every Day And I Just Love Doing It. It's Just... It's Just A Wonderful Thing. Some Of My Stories Work, Some Of Them Don't Work. Some Of Them Are Wild And I Love Them, But They Certainly Don't Fit Into Any Kind Of A Normal System That I Know About.

My Father Always Taught By Telling Stories About His Experiences. His Lessons Were About Morality And Art And What Insects And Birds And Human Beings Had In Common. He Told Me What It Meant To Be A Man And To Be A Black Man. He Taught Me About Love And Responsibility, About Beauty, And How To Make Gumbo.

One Of The Things That I Love About Being A Writer Is This. I Wake Up Every Day And I Write For Three Hours. I Wake Up Early. So Like 6:00, 7:00 In The Morning, I Write Till 9:00 Or 10:00. I Live In New York, Nobody Even Is Breathing Until 9:00 Or 10:00 In The Morning. So, It's Like My Writing Life Is Completely Removed From The Rest Of My Life.
