First, scribble on a page:
\nform the words with a pencil;
\nchange everything often.<\/p>\n
Then, see the faces and
\ngestures; hear the words
\nand smell the work; taste
\nthe raw desires and fears:
\nget them all on the page.<\/p>\n
Do it so often you can find
\nthe perfect word without hunting
\nfor it; do it until you understand
\nwhat you have written.
\nWrite when you are not writing,
\nin your head\u2014while you are
\nscraping burnt porridge or carrying
\nlumber or waiting at the doctor’s office.
\nDo it instead of kissing your lover,
\ninstead of having a life, and
\nget it on the page.<\/p>\n
Place your life behind your eyes,
\ninside your ears, in your sinuses,
\ndeep in your throat\u2014when your head
\nis in the middle of the raw highway
\nat the edge of human desperation
\nand get it on the page.<\/p>\n
