writing perfect degenerates
At this moment, the story in his head was perfect. He also knew from experience that it would degenerate the second he started typing, because such was the nature of writing.
fall writing light
I scan the room. Catherine is writing quickly, her light brown hair falling over her face. She is left-handed, and because she writes in pencil her left arm is silver from wrist to elbow.
hate writing pages
I hate this bizarre policy of protective exclusion, because it effectively writes me off the page.
reading writing thinking
I tend not to think about the reading public at all, or the business, when I'm writing.
conceiving fictional full natural pop seems surround
It seems natural to surround my fictional world with animals because my reality is full of them. When I'm sitting there conceiving a story, they just pop up.
types vicious
I just don't think I've had the desire yet to write a vicious animal - like a dog-gone-bad or anything - where I do feel that I need a balance of all types of humans.
horse children matter
They grew fat and happy--the horses, not the children, or Marlena for that matter.

It's as though I've been sleepwalking and suddenly woken to find myself here

Even as your body betrays you, your mind denies it
girl elephants sake
How hard can it be to find a girl and an elephant for Christ's sake?
sweet men thinking
Sometimes I think that if I had to choose between an ear of corn or making love to a woman, I'd choose the corn. Not that I wouldn't love to have a final roll in the hay - I am a man yet, and something never die - but the thought of those sweet kernels bursting between my teeth sure sets my mouth to watering. It's fantasy, I know that. Neither will happen. I just like to weight the options, as though I were standing in front of Solomon: a final roll in the hay or an ear of corn. What a wonderful dilemma. Sometimes I substitute an apple for the corn.
pockets littles protect
The thought has cheered me, and I'd like to hang onto that. Must protect my little pockets of happiness.
being-me
When did I stop being me?
