El resto -y quizá lo mejor- es un permiso: puedes, debes y, si eres lo bastante valiente para empezar, lo harás. Escribir es mágico, es el agua de la vida como cualquier otro arte creativo. El agua es gratis. Así que bebe. Bebe y llénate.

• Reading is the creative center of a writer’s life. I take a book with me everywhere I go, and find there are all sorts of opportunities to dip in. The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as in long swallows. Waiting rooms were made for books— of course! But so are theater lobbies before the show, long and boring checkout lines, and everyone’s favorite, the john. You can even read while you’re driving, thanks to the audiobook revolution. Of the books I read each year, anywhere from six to a dozen are on tape.

• The idea for each of the stories in this book came in a moment of belief and was written in a burst of faith, happiness, and optimism. Those positive feelings have their dark analogues, however, and the fear of failure is a long way from the worst of them.
