grrrrrr...
fire burns
that is the first law
the writing is nothing,
the being in a position to write
is 9/10ths of the difficulty
(that's where they get you:
seduction or the strong arm stuff)
the writing should be a relief
relief from the conditions
which as we advance becomes a fire
for writing is also an attack
so they must find means to douse it
so that to write
9/10ths of the problem is to live.
"a wonderful gift. how do you do it?
how do you find the time for it? it must be wonderful to have such a
pasttime
but you were always a strange boy.
how's your mother?
your father was such a nice man. i remember him well"
(the fury, the fire, the flames consume)
"oh geez, i guess its cool what does it mean?"

And I completely resonate with that sentiment - writing isn't difficult at all, it's getting yourself into the proper state of mind where you no longer have to think about the next words coming out, you're just a conduit from wherever those words reside to the computer screen, getting them there as soon as possible.
