It's Almost As If We're

Language Is An Archaeological Vehicle... The Language We Speak Is A Whole Palimpsest Of Human Effort And History.

When I Write A Book, I Don't Have A Plan Or An Outline. The Characters Move The Action, And The Action Develops The Characters. When I Write A Book, I Become An Actor, Really, Taking The Role Of The Person Who Is Speaking Or Acting At The Time, And So Their Reactions To Whatever They See Are My Reactions.

I'll Never Retire. They'll Have To Take My Computer Out Of My Cold, Dead Hands. I'm Addicted To Writing. I Feel Physically Unwell If I'm Not Doing It.

What A Weird Thing Smoking Is And I Can't Stop It. I Feel Cosy, Have A Sense Of Well-being When I'm Smoking, Poisoning Myself, Killing Myself Slowly. Not So Slowly Maybe. I Have All Kinds Of Pains I Don't Want To Know About And I Know That's What They're From. But When I Don't Smoke I Scarcely Feel As If I'm Living. I Don't Feel As If I'm Living Unless I'm Killing Myself.

More And More I'm Aware That The Permutations Are Not Unlimited.
