Writing is easy. It’s an ongoing process, like eating, breathing, or sleeping. It shouldn’t be painful or difficult. It’s a report on the state of the soul and, like the soul, should be continuously evolving. … Everything seeks perfection but never achieves it. Imperfection is better. Try it. It’s easier to attain. Anger is a twisted form of courage. … When you’re depressed, hard work is the cure. The next time you get depressed, go out in the backyard and dig a six‑foot hole. But don’t jump in it just yet.
