I try to write something that would interest anybody and keep them turning the page. You must have a plot and good storyline.
I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense.
The sharecropper may lower his eyes, but not because he's less of a man. That's just a condition of society that such things exist.
Question everything. Every stripe, every star, every word spoken. Everything.
Sometimes you got to hurt something to help something. Sometimes you have to plow under one thing in order for something else to grow.
Today I must write a paragraph or a page better than I did yesterday.
