William Walker may refer to:...
morning writing mind
I can write all the way through the morning, when my mind is clear, and there are no distractions.
real worry different
I guess it never is what you worry over that comes to pass in the end. The real catastrophes are always different—unimagined, unprepared for, unknown.
father storm eras
I kept quiet, but the knowledge gathered like a storm. I could see the future: My father wasn't coming back. And this one fact seemed to point to other facts and others still: Love frays and humans fail, time passes, eras end.
decay sometimes certain
Sometimes death is proof of life. Sometimes decay points out a certain verve.
father lying fall
I've become a collector of stories about unlikely returns: the sudden reappearance of the long-lost son, the father found, the lovers reunited after forty years. Once in awhile, a letter does fall behind a post office desk and lie there for years before it's finally discovered and delivered to the rightful address. The seemingly brain-dead sometimes wake up and start talking. I'm always on the lookout for proof that what is done can sometimes be undone.
past long
But the past is long, and the future is short.
regret speed know-how
Who knows how fast a second-guess can travel? Who has ever measured the exact speed of regret?
creepy abundance turns
Even beauty, in abundance, turns creepy.
stories sometimes saddest
Sometimes the saddest stories take the fewest words.
editors reader
An editor is like a professional reader, and as I became a better reader, I also became a better writer.
motivation inspiration knowing
Fear is ... a kind of unintentional storytelling that we are all born knowing how to do.
fear play imagination
Our fears are an amazing gift of the imagination ... a way of glimpsing what might be the future when there's still time to influence how that future will play out.
scary-stories newspapers ifs
If I read a scary story in the newspaper, I find I'm haunted by it.
book writing appreciate
I just hope that readers and publishers continue to appreciate good writing and good storytelling in all their various forms. And I hope that people continue to read books, even though we have so many other options for entertainment.
