More From Hubert Selby, Jr.

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
The story is the only thing that's important. everything else will take care of itself. it's like what bowlers say. you hear writers talk about character or theme or mood or mode or tense or person. but bowlers say, if you make the spares, the strikes will take care of themselves. if you can tell a story, everything else becomes possible. but without story, nothing is possible, because nobody wants to hear about your sensitive characters if there's nothing happening in the story. and the same is true with mood. story is the only thing that's important.
Character Writing Important
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
The hardest thing when you think about focusing. you think focusing is about saying "yes." no. focusing is about saying "no." and when you say "no," you piss off people.

Animal Differences Interesting
Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
