As Writers We Need To

Write What Disturbs You, What You Fear, What You Have Not Been Willing To Speak About. Be Willing To Be Split Open.

In The End, You Have To Just Sit Down, Shut Up, And Write.

What Writing Practice, Like Zen Practice Does Is Bring You Back To The Natural State Of Mind...the Mind Is Raw, Full Of Energy, Alive And Hungry. It Does Not Think In The Way We Were Brought Up To Think-well-mann Ered, Congenial.

I Consider Writing Practice A True Zen Practice Because It All Comes Back At You. You Can't Fool Anyone Because It's On The Page.

So Even Though I Couldn't Bear Writing About Cancer, I Faced It Every Day.
