I often think I can see it in myself and in other young writers, this desperate desire to please coupled with a kind of hostility to the reader.
You'll go mad trying to figure out what people want. I don't bother. I write the stories I want to read.
It's always flattering when somebody you really respect and like wants you to be involved in their project - let alone writes a part with your voice in mind.
As a writer, you must know what promise your story or novel makes. Your reader will know.
It's a bit of a crapshoot out there with young writers right now anyway.
Wear your learning like your watch, in a private pocket; and do not pull it out, and strike it, merely to show that you have one.
The more I read my poems, the more I find out about them. I still read them with the same passion I felt when I wrote them as a young man.
I don't want to just sell out shows to young girls who like my movie franchise. I want to sell tickets because people respect me.
When young writers approach me for advice, I remind them, as gently as I can, that they are on their own, with no help available anywhere. Which is how it should be.
