"Somebody at one of these places ... asked me: 'What do you do? How do you write, create?' You don't, I told them. You don't try. That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks you make a pet out of it." -Charles Bukowski, in a letter to John William Corrington, 1963.
Mike Morgan made me this cool little book for my birthday. There was some info about writer Charles Bukowski in there, since we were both born on August 16th. Mike told me I'd really dig his stuff. He just emailed me some of his work. I really like it. Can't wait to read more. Thanks, Morgan!
