“I’m feeling a low regarding writing. I sometimes think I should finish working on my book of stripper poetry that I started, but other times I feel like it’s not worth it. Sometimes I think I should work on my comic book idea, and then other times I want to work on a website, and still other times I think I should be working on this memoir.

I suppose it is similar to people who talk just to hear their own voice. I write simply to see my own thoughts in print.”

“His writing had become, like a stash of rare and troubling pornography, something that must be kept hidden, an obsession that other people would be mystified to discover.”

“But I think everybody should write. I think those people with stories who don't write should be stomped on. ”
