Everywhere I go I’m asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don’t stifle enough of them.
There’s many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher. – Flannery O’Connor
All my students
wonder about “the process.”
I tell them
there’s not much to it.
Beer. Smoke.
More beer.
More smoke.
Loud music
in your head.
A hot babe
in the next room
watching re-runs of “Friends.”
And nothing,
nothing better to do.
