I Won't Read A Book

I'm Very Much Aware In The Writing Of Dialogue, Or Even In The Narrative Too, Of A Rhythm. There Has To Be A Rhythm With It … Interviewers Have Said, You Like Jazz, Don’t You? Because We Can Hear It In Your Writing. And I Thought That Was A Compliment.

What Do You Tell A Man With Two Black Eyes? Nothing, He's Already Been Told Twice.

Don't Worry About What Your Mother Thinks Of Your Language.

Never Use An Adverb To Modify The Verb 'said' . . . He Admonished Gravely. To Use An Adverb This Way (or Almost Any Way) Is A Mortal Sin. The Writer Is Now Exposing Himself In Earnest, Using A Word That Distracts And Can Interrupt The Rhythm Of The Exchange.

I Don't Believe In Writer's Block Or Waiting For Inspiration. If You're A Writer, You Sit Down And Write.
