A writer is connected to words through a wellspring, everything else is like ground water that comes and goes. The  source of words is inside the soul. I have heard it said that the soul is full of words and when we say all the words our lives end. I use to get sick after finishing a book, but I don't anymore because one book leads to another. Once the wellspring has been revealed writing becomes effortless. Writing that ends with vision must begin in vision.  Art is the process of taming chaos. The soul of the animal is filled with fear, but the soul of the human is made from form that fears no thing.
