I just sit down and the page just comes out and I look at it and the elements that appear on that page have a lot to do with what's going on in my life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What's on the page dictates a lot of what I do. When the words are there, it's easy.
When I sit down with my notebook, when I start scribbling words across the page, I find out what I'm feeling.
I think when I'm drawing, I'm seeing what's happening on the page almost as if it were unfolding like a movie in my head.
I live in the moment. I can turn the page and move on.
It's just a matter of writing the kind of book I enjoy reading. Something better be happening at the beginning, and then on every page after, or I get irritated.
Sometimes I think everything I touch turns into a Page Six item.
This life is yours and no one else's, and if you spend your time looking at other people's pages, you'll never get anything done.
For me, the bottom line is what's on the page.
I revise obsessively. It's important to me to have a clean page.
By the time I sit down and face the blank page I am raring to go. I tell it as if I'm talking to my best friend or one of my grandchildren.
