“May I suggest that writing itself is freedom from consciousness as much as a stimulant to it. That writers are not always the most vital people in the room, but often nearer ghouls sniffing at the trough of other living blood. That they are malingering vampires who never got the hang of life, really. That they are narcoleptics so enchanted by their inner dreams that only the act of writing itself can shake them into sullen awareness, and then they sleep again, having stolen something from the house of old chaos and time. Writing has saved the soul once more from the insufferable war of full consciousness. For a time. He has put himself in that beloved trance again. Possum, sop, taters.

I would guess this is why I find working writers to be among the happiest folks in the world. Among the unhappiest are those who are not working and have endless questions. You do not want to get within a block of these people. The Great Suck—big bottom lip, the sulk, the neurotic and despondent vortex. But working writers are happy like unprosecuted felons.” -Barry Hannah in Mr. Brain, He Want a Song, from The Eleventh Draft: Craft and the Writing Life from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop [ed. Frank Conroy]

DETAILS, DETAILS

"The author makes a tacit deal with the reader. You hand them a backpack. You ask them to place certain things in it — to remember, to keep in mind — as they make their way up the hill. If you hand them a yellow Volkswagen and they have to haul this to the top of the mountain — to the end of the story — and they find that this Volkswagen has nothing whatsoever to do with your story, you're going to have a very irritated reader on your hands."

- Frank Conroy, to a student at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop who included irrelevant details in her short story
