The basic unit of writing practice is the timed exercise.

Writing Down the Bones (1986)

Use original detail in your writing. Life is so rich, if you can write down the real details of the way things were and are, you hardly need anything else.

Writing Down the Bones (1986)

See the big picture. You are committed to writing or finding out about it. Continue under all circumstances. Don't be rigid though.

Writing Down the Bones (1986)

Just write. Just write. Just write. [...]
When we are in the heart of writing it doesn't matter where we are. We can write anyplace.
