Council to aspiring writers
Renounce groped to write, and instead, try not to write. Turn the world become pirate king of Borneo, workers in Soviet Russia. Get a life in which the satisfaction of basic physical needs to absorb almost all your energy. (...) I think after some years of such an existence, the ex-intellectual will find that, in spite of his efforts, can no longer refrain from writing and when that time comes, do not write what will seem futile. (P.34) Tea, 2003.
