My new house has a deck that wraps around my writing room; my writing room has many windows, and outside the windows I've hung bird feeders... for enticing different species. So I imagine I will be writing about that.

Being in the mood to write, like being in the mood to make love, is a luxury that isn't necessary in a long-term relationship. Just as the first caress can lead to a change of heart, the first sentence, however tentative and awkward, can lead to a desire to go just a little further.

Art used to be made in the name of faith. We made cathedrals, we made stained-glass windows, we made murals.

Creativity - like human life itself - begins in darkness

Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse.

If I'm right, the only reason our species is still around is because of our friendship with the canines.
