To write well is difficult. To build an audience is difficult. But to think about these things is to change the subject, which ought to be, "How does this story express the deepest longing in our hearts?" If you can focus on that, putting everything else aside -- especially the seeming futility of achieving such an important goal -- you have a chance to write well.(less)

Sure, you have ideas in the shower or scribbled on napkins, but those don't take you far. It's the discipline of sitting down to write and fully submerging into the new reality you are trying to construct that brings inspiration and discovery. Some days (most days?), that's a difficult process.(less)

“He flies as fast as she will go, lower than the black power lines, lower than the silver irrigation pipes, rending the air just above deep green leaves that wave in his wake, soaking up the mist he leaves behind.

He glances ahead and prepares for his escape; the steep climb nearly within the grasp of approaching trees, the smooth rising turn which, like an unanswered prayer, twists slowly down and away, falling back toward the earth, lined up on the next rows.

It is a dance of sorts, to the roar of the engine and the scream of the wind; a soaring, sweeping dance around the jealous pull of earth.

It is a lonely, wordless dance, but it suits him.”
