"To write is to play jazz: you take a deep breath and roar, releasing a wild mouth
that eats and eats, and eats feverishly without pause or consideration, only
getting hungrier and faster as it moves, thinking nothing but more."
"There are manic writers above me, running back and forth on the balance beam. They giggle at their jokes, their hilarious jokes, their ingenious and godlike writing, there has never BEEN such writing as this! Convinced of their sanity and paramount brilliance, they write like Dr. Hamsterviel, scrawling the world while they scurry. I try not to watch."
“The people lied together in the sun.
There were men and there
were women, and there hung
a collective heaviness on their chests. Without a word, they all knew
it was an ending.”
