"Sometimes, maybe even right now, I don't want to write. It seems so boring. There are so many rules and I made them all myself: not here in the house, in a cafe or a bar. You have to take a walk, and think about it while you're walking, try to go back there, feel all hurt or fucked up and kind of lost, feel really in love, you were just with the person, you smell like her, remember how you ate a burrito afterwards, what it felt like to crave the steak. You have to drink something while you write, either coffee or beer, or sangria. If you're getting a late start and the sun is down already then it should be a bar. You don't want the place closing up around you when you're just hitting your stride, you're going to stay up late immersed in all this life. Also you have to smoke continuously, so pick a place that will let you do that. Maybe you should get on a Greyhound and go somewhere else a place with romantic terrain where you can be with your cigarettes."
