When I write something, every word of it is meant. I can't say it enough.

The way I write, words can means lots of different things.
Words are a pretty blunt instrument. There's always going to be slippage between the words and the infinite complexities of a thought. As a writer, I find that frustrating, but as a social animal, I wouldn't have it any other way.
When you use words, you're able to keep your mind alive. Writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.
I've always written very tightly, and there's a good reason for that. There's no point in using words that you're not going to apply.
Words are powerful. When I make mistakes I just try to come back and clarify what I meant.
My writing tends to become very dense, so I have to keep some cushion. Sometimes, words that seem superfluous are actually essential for the overall effect.
Whenever I write something, I always want to make sure that what I write is defensible.
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
You are just in the middle of a struggle with words which are really very stubborn things, with a blank page, with the damn thing that you use to write with, a pen or a typewriter, and you forget all about the reader when you are doing that.
Poetry says the things that I can't say. I read a lot, but I never write it.
