...Kelly, who has decided to be a writer.
"Don't write drunk . . . or stoned.
Get a reader . . . be a reader.
Write fan letters.
Show up for readings.
Fret not about fame or fortune.
Take every opportunity to write well.
Rewrite.
Rewrite again.
Pay your bills promptly.
Say "please' and 'thank you.'
Change your oil every three thousand miles.
Write it all down.
The hopes and fears . . . the hand
and head and heart of us.
Write it all goddam down."
I liked this quote a lot. Alana Noell Voth sent it to me, several years ago.
