>All the Difference
>I like to push the edges when I write. It’s easy to self-censor–the little voice inside that tells you what you are writing doesn’t make sense or perhaps goes too far. Too far where? Pushing to uncomfortable places when you write is usually a sign that you are getting to what matters. We all want to feel something when we read. It’s not always possible for me to get to the place where I can access my unconscious mind. Often I’m too controlled in my writing. It’s when I really let go that I’m amazed at the way the words tumble out. I’m not sure I understand the process but I am humbled by it. All artists know what it feels like to be an instrument for your art. It’s liberating and intoxicating.
