Notes from Far Away

Far away from home, far from where I want to be, but getting closer every day.

E.L. Doctorow once said that ‘writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.’

You don’t have to see where you’re going, you don’t have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet in ahead of you. This is right up there with the best advice about writing, or life, I have ever heard.
