"When everything works best, it's not because you chose writing (or music), it's because it CHOSE YOU. It's when you're mad with it. It's when it's stuffed in your ears, nostrils, under your fingernails. It's when there's no hope but that." Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski (although dead) continues to inspire me because he sat on the floor writing on a damn napkin because it was what he LIVED for, and he would have died for it. "We work too hard. We try too hard," Bukowski wrote to Packard. "Don't try. Don't work. It's there. Looking right at us, aching to kick out of the closed womb." He may have meant "if the thought of living without it hurts more than the thought of potentially suffering through the process, if the thought of a life without it or never having tried it at all terrifies you, if it comes to you, through you, out of you, almost as if you're not trying, then go all the fudging way.'" That quote comes from Bukowski's novel Factotum — the story of Bukowski in search of blue-collar work that won't get in the way of his one true craft (writing).
