I love the way you describe poetry time... the idea of words being able to make time stand still. <BR/><BR/>And, of course, the surprise of what appears on the page... sometimes when you least expect it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14706180.post-61085349089566770502007-11-21T07:08:00.000-05:002007-11-21T07:08:00.000-05:00Kelly sent me.

Rough draft time is the hardest time to find, because it needs to be uninterrupted (and because I struggle with how slow it is.) Editing time is the easiest, because I can do it in little snatches, and I feel like I'm making progress the whole time.

Brooks is amazing.<BR/><BR/>You've raised an interesting topic for a future post: which books do writers turn to for inspiration? <BR/><BR/>Probably just as important a question as how a writer finds time to write.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14706180.post-79677921502840503892007-11-18T12:29:00.000-05:002007-11-18T12:29:00.000-05:00Time to write, as much a question of self-discipli...Time to write, as much a question of self-discipline as of other commitments. It's always interesting to see what some of my familiar authors have to say about this, and these included Brooks, Konigsburg and Hopkins in your panel. <BR/><BR/>Twelve hours a day for Brooks, wow, that's intense. He writes such a range of books, too, intense stories like "The Moves Make the Man," "What Hearts," and "gaelwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614646963351308194noreply@blogger.com
