Writing is really just a matter of writing a lot, writing consistently and having faith that you'll continue to get better and better. Sometimes, people think that if they don't display great talent and have some success right away, they won't succeed. But writing is about struggling through and learning and finding out what it is about writing itself that you really love.

Andthis letterI didn't sendhow surprisingto find it now.All this love I must have felt.

And my wildly troubled love for you, which labored gently in the garden all through June, then tore the flowers up with its fists in July.

A man holding a woman made of bad moods in his arms.

Fragrant, dreaming, unreal, and having to do, terribly, with love.
