“To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm's way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.” PeopleKnowsMenWayWritingHomeMightMorningDrawsTasksSkinsTiredTrainBusyHarmContactJournalismEveningComing HomeCatchingHeartbreakingGood Writing Book:Selected essays Source: Selected essays

“I have physical problems with listening to reggae. It's weird, I don't know why. It doesn't fit the way my heart pounds, and I feel very bad when I hear it. I have a neighbor--she's a waitress who comes home every night at four in the morning and she plays reggae very loud. I hate that. I can't sleep and I can't wake up either to that music.” KnowsWayFeelsHeartI CanPlayProblemHomeNightHateSleepMorningFourListeningMy HeartFitI HateWake UpNeighborLoudPoundsComing HomeEvery NightWaitressReggaeCan't SleepI Can't Sleep Author:Nina Persson
“I was walking every morning, and I'd take my iPod and paper and pen. As I walked, I wrote a poem, and then I'd come home - and sometimes it's legible, sometimes not - I typed the poem up. So I have a new, yet to be published, collection of poems now. It's called Walker's Alphabet, and among other things, it is about walking. My most recent collection of poems in 2010, incidentally, was titled WALKING backwards.” SometimesHomeMorningWalkingPaperCollectionsPensComing HomeEvery MorningBackwardsAlphabetIpodsWalkersWalking BackwardsPaper And Pen Author:Shirley Geok-lin Lim
“I love to cook. In fact, at this exact moment, I am trying something new: I am cooking a whole chicken in my crockpot, which I've never done before. I browned it with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and I put a bunch of celery and onions - which I'll have to hide from the children because they claim to hate onions - and I'm going to make homemade mashed cream potatoes. I always, before I leave for work in the morning, have supper cooking. That way, when I come home and they come home from school, there's all kinds of good smells in the house.” WayTryingKindChildrenDoneWholeMomentsFactsHomeSchoolHateHouseMorningClaimsCookingSmellBunchAll KindsCooksSomething NewChickensComing HomeSaltCreamPotatoesOnionsSupperPowderPeppersGarlicHomemadeCeleryTrying SomethingTrying Something NewSalt And Pepper Author:Nancy Grace
