“When I erase a word with a pencil, where does it go?”
“I don't want to be pencilled in anywhere, pencil can be erased.”
“I have rewritten — often several times — every word I have ever published. My pencils outlast their erasers.”
“....and on occasion I like to write in pencil, because I need to know that I can erase the words, even if I never do.”
“Mistakes? That's why they put erasers on pencils.”
“No one is perfect... that's why pencils have erasers.”
