writing talking response
when I talk about a writing life, I'm talking about a life in which writing is the dominant response to living.
writing reality alive
Writing is a combination of being alert to your outer surroundings and alive to your inner reality ...
writing dancing needs
We don't often talk about the fact that writing is all about rhythm. When you get too up in your head, you can lose a lot of your writing. Sometimes what a writer really needs to do is go dancing.
writing more-time dominant
When writing becomes too dominant, it gets leached of its own power. We spend more and more time writing, and we have less and less to write about.
writing practice life-is
Pivotal to a happy writing life is a practice of daily personal writing.
creativity writing nuclear
I learned to just show up at the page and write down what I heard. Writing became more like eavesdropping and less like inventing a nuclear bomb.
book home writing
When it was suggested that I write a memoir I said, 'I'm not old enough. I'm not distinguished enough.' But I went home and sat down to write, and the material for the book just came flooding into my hands.
writing giving environment
Taking the time to write in our lives gives us the time of our lives. As we describe our environments, we begin to savor them. Even the most rushed and pell-mell life begins to take on the patina of being cherished.
creativity writing heaven
Writing just for the hell of it is heaven.
morning writing character
I started writing morning pages just to keep my hand in, you know, just because I was a writer and I didn't know what else to do but write. And then one day as I was writing, a character came sort of strolling in and I realized, Oh my God, I don't have to be just a screenwriter. I can write novels.
writing trying limited-time
Because if you're trying to write and you have unlimited time, you can procrastinate an unlimited account, but if you have limited time, you rush to the page trying to get something down in the little bit of fragment of time that you have, and you may write a great deal that way.
jobs writing knowing
Writing is like listening to a melody line in my head. Note by note, it knows where it wants to go. I follow it and lay it down. I can pare it, shape it, and polish it later...My job is to take down the dribs and drabs - to free-associate, if you will, knowing that the associations have their own plans for where we're going with all this.
writing path right-thing
To write is to right things. A path will emerge.
writing over-you paper
When we put the pen to paper, we articulate things in our life that we may have felt vague about. Before you write about something, somebody says, 'How do you feel?' and you say, 'Oh, I feel okay.' Then you write about it, and you discover you don't feel okay.
