The fact is, for all the critics' talk about me as a realist, I'm making everything up - everything. It is all about imagining with me.
Every really good book was written a little at a time, over time, in tremendous confusion and doubt.
I love teaching. If I made a trillion dollars, I would still teach. It's different every day. You get to meet intelligent people all the time - or at least most of the time.
I don't read reviews.
Write a little bit every day, each day. Visit it, every day - in other words, show up for work.
