when i write,
i imagine that
someone wonderful
like fitzgerald or stein
is taking my hand
and guiding the pen-

suffice to say
this is the only way
i can actually take pride
in any of my work

&quot;...I wrote because that was who I was at the core, and if I was too damaged to walk around the block, I was lucky all the same. Once I got to my desk, once I started writing, I still believed anything was possible.&rdquo; <br /> -Alice Hoffman
