By making the pen move with whatever comes out, whatever it may be, even gibberish. It's like opening a well tap that's been long closed: at first comes the rust, then the waters begin to clear, and sparkle, and soon one finds it to be a refreshing and vitalizing stream. Relaxed and natural persistence, yielding to the unexpected, is the key. If it doesn't work, try it again later. And look for a fragment of inspiration in anything you see, outside or in.

Discovery. Surprise. Music.

Experiment. Wildly and with abandon. Write such craziness as gives you thrills and causes your head to tingle. That's how you turn writing into a rewarding adventure you won't want but to delve ever more deeply into.

Two novels, musical compositions, regular articles and haiku for my online journal at flowerwatch.net, and additional works of poetry and prose.

Writing comes from a need to hear something. It's a source of inner inquiry, of new insight, of fun and the unexpected. It's like playing music and jamming with friends. I'm always surprised, so I keep coming back to it.

It's something that has developed over many years, gems that I've collected from the land, fragrances of cedar, whispers of rain in the fields. I carry a notebook, and when a fox, or the leaves of a tree start talking, I start listening, and take down what I can of what they have to say to me.
