I’m not thinking much about overall themes or preoccupations or anything like that. Instead I’m just trusting that, if I’m working hard, various notions and riffs and motifs and so on are very naturally suffusing the stories and the resulting book Picture Quote #1

My way is the sensitive, emotional way, because that’s who I am. A day doesn’t go by where I don’t sit and cry, listening to the stories. I try to be the clown and court jester and make people laugh Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it boring... how people always want to tell you their own stories instead of listening to yours? I suppose that’s why psychiatrists are better than friends; the paid listener doesn’t interrupt with his own experiences Picture Quote #1
