When he judged him dead he dropped to the ground.

If you let anything infringe on your writing time, it will. And you won't get the writing done. Taking one day off can cost me five days of getting back in the mood.

Cornel West

writing thinking perfect
I like what I do. Some writers have said in print that they hated writing and it was just a chore and a burden. I certainly don't feel that way about it. Sometimes it's difficult.

You'll never get there, but without it you won't get anywhere.
