you are the source
"Of all the things I've learned about writing, this is the most important: There's a domain of excitement and eagerness and delight that can be astonishing. It is a place of commitment and discovery and wonderment. It is the far side of passion. It is totality of purpose, an inspired obsession. I like to call it stardrive. It's the engine at the center of your personal starship. It's your heart of brightness. It is who you really are. It is simply you—you are the source."
You're Not Going to Remember
"You have to write when you're not 'inspired.' ...And the weird thing is that six months later, or a year later, you're going to look back and you're not going to remember which scenes you wrote when you were inspired and which scenes you wrote because they had to be written."
