#Writing
There is Nothing to Writing. All you do is sit down at a Typewriter and Bleed.
As a Writer, you should not Judge, you should Understand.
Write Hard and Clear about what Hurts.

In order to Write about Life, First you must Live it.
The Hard part about Writing a Novel is Finishing it.
There is No Rule on how to Write. Sometimes it comes Easily and Perfectly, Sometimes it’s like Drilling rock and then Blasting it out with Charges.
If a Writer stops Observing he is Finished. Experience is Communicated by Small details intimately Observed.
A Writer should write What he has to Say and Not Speak it.

Never go on Trips with Anyone you do not Love.
If Two people Love each other there can be No Happy end to it.
No one you Love is ever Truly Lost.
