When I write, the first blank page, or any blank page, means nothing to me. What means something is a page that has been filled with words.

You are just in the middle of a struggle with words which are really very stubborn things, with a blank page, with the damn thing that you use to write with, a pen or a typewriter, and you forget all about the reader when you are doing that.

If you look closely, there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers, in that it is filled with blank pages, dark pages, it has stars made of words, the famous magical cube made of numbers, and there is even a page which is a mirror.

I live for the blank page.

I enjoy the freedom of the blank page.

You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.
