“Surrendering is not the giving up of something.
True surrender is the total acceptance of yourself.
You're not 'losing' anything in the surrender, the way your society usually means that word. You are not giving up anything in the sense of loss.
Surrender means to open up: Open up to your total self; to give in and let go of the things you think you're supposed to be. Just be who you are. It will see you through.”

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
