#pain

I tell students they will know they are getting somewhere when a scene is so painful they can just barely bring themselves to write about it. A writer has to draw blood. ↗

I paint very messy. I throw paint around. So when I let myself do the same sort of thing with my writing, and I would just write and write and write and revise, that's when I found my rhythm in writing. ↗

At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough. ↗

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict. ↗

The unflattering reviews are painful for short periods of time; the badly written ones are deeply, deeply insulting. That reviewer took no time to really read the book. ↗
