Plungers organize by drafting

be still and listen

"The discipline of the writer is to be still and listen to what his subject has to tell him."

Start with Almost Nothing

"I start with almost nothing: A question I want asked, or a feeling, a sort of weird conflicted feeling that I have and I want to explore.  So I think all my books start that way.  And then, as it always does, the book takes on a life of its own."

Our Soul Discloses

"We often have to write three hundred pages before our soul discloses to us what it is that was waiting to be discovered."

Bob and Weave

"As a writer, it's like you're a fighter in the ring.  You have to bob and weave and juke and move and change direction and tactics all the time based on what your instincts are telling you about what's happening on the page."
