The secret of it all is to write in the gush, the throb, the flood of the momentâto put things down without deliberationâwithout worrying about their styleâwithout waiting for a fit time or place. I always worked that way. I took the first scrap of paper, the first doorstep, the first desk, and wroteâwrote, wroteâŠBy writing at the instant, the very heartbeat of life is caught.
Walt Whitman (via writerniche)
