My soul is ten thousand miles wide and extremely invisibly deep. it is the same size as the sea, and you cannot, you cannot cram it into beer cans and fingernails and stake it out in lots and own it. it will drown you all and never even notice.

It has often been said there’s so much to be read, you never can cram all those words in your head. so the writer who breeds more words than he needs is making a chore for the reader who reads. that's why my belief is the briefer the brief is, the greater the sigh of the reader's relief is. and that's why your books have such power and strength. you publish with shorth! (shorth is better than length.)
