I don't know what it is that makes a writer go to his desk in his shut-off room day after day after year after year unless it is the sure knowledge that not to have done the daily stint of writing that day is infinitely more agonizing than to write.

What i see is trying to make sure that everybody thinks you have more than what you actually have. what’s the point if you actually don’t have it? if you don’t have it, then you don’t have it. have what you have. enjoy that . . . the craft is everything. don’t be afraid of not being the wealthiest person in the room. be the smartest person in the room. be the slickest person in the room. be the most creative person in the room. be the most entertaining person in the room. just be in the room.
Thinking Creative Trying
The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.
Wall Writing Cells
If you want to be a writer, write. write and write and write. if you stop, start again. save everything that you write. if you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. write. writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less.
Writing Creative Juices Want
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.

Shirley's gonna be pissed," gazarra said. "she hates when i get shot." to my recollection, the only other time gazarra was shot was when he was playing quick draw in the police station elevator and his gun accidentally discharged. the bullet ricocheted off the elevator wall and lodged in gazarra's right buttock.
Wall Hate Gun
I need to be performing. i need to be acting. i need to be designing a condo and ripping down walls and buying new plates and looking at fashion magazines. there always has to be some movement in the artistic department for me to not get really, really low.
