“Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.”

“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.”

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anais Nin
