May 4, 1999: Erasing the excuses
I cannot walk with those who aim their writing skills toward “I wasn’t in the mood.” Writing doesn’t grow within those walls. The goal should be to bust down all levels of frustration to achieve another flight—don’t go in search of writing, bring writing to me, to yourself, grasp a thought, any thought, then give it life. Play not with your food if the plate is empty. If that is the case then draw pictures in the gravy stains left over. Paint splattered onto the surface becomes art if he who put it there dubs it as such. No man or woman’s imagination is ever empty therefore you should always be in the mood to write.
