“One wonders whether the Obama re-election campaign may be on the right track as it seeks to apply the you-break-it-you-own-it rule to Bush and the American economy.

“Love your material. Nothing frightens the inner critic more than the writer who loves her work. The writer who is enamored of her material forgets all about censoring herself. She doesn't stop to wonder if her book is any good, or who will publish it, or what people will think. She writes in a trance, losing track of time, hearing only her characters in her head.” PeopleIfsThinkingWritingBookCharacterForgetWonderLove YouMaterialsLosingCriticsTrackHearingPublishTranceEnamoredCensoring Author:Allegra Goodman
