Keep a note pad and a pen in your car, beside your bed. You never know when an idea will fleetingly run through your mind.
Embrace who you are now and concentrate on who you are becoming. Pour yourself into every word.
Envision in your mind the thing you are writing about. Move toward it.
Look into the cracks. Look into the edges. How did it get to be what it is? How did it come to the place it is now? Has it always been, was it carried there? Did it want to be there? Or was it left? Was it formed by someone’s hands, or pressed out of a machine?
Introduce yourself, then live in their minds. See through their eyes and then walk with them. Let them grow in your mind, so you can not abandon them. You must finish the journey, you must follow, you must lead.
How can they breathe life, if you don’t give it to them? Don’t you see your great responsibility? They will never be born if you do not design them, if you do not desire them to exist.
Who will read what you have written. How will what you have put onto the raw pulp of paper, fulfill the dream of the reader to read and for your characters to be read?
Connect yourself into the minds of others, it is the only "why" to intrude, to subdue and to seep ever so slowly into the only depth that matters, the soul.
