rafaelcasal “I
don’t want to be the writer that spends all his time writing, I want to
be the writer that spends 90% of his time LIVING, knowing that when
there is a moment to breathe, he will write with conviction. I don’t
want to write about adventures foreign to me, I don’t want to only write
about fighting a lion, I want to fight the lion THEN write about it! I
want to know the texture of a lion’ fur sticking straight up, I want to
be able to describe the fever of his breath. You can’t but guess those
things at home in the comfort of your den. I want to LIVE. And then
TELL. And die knowing I did so. That is a writer to me.” – R

rafaelcasal Heading
to Europe this weekend. last time I was there I sat in a coffee shop in
Spain and made a list of…guiding posts for myself. I felt like I was
drifting, and wanted a 10 commandments of sorts for my life and my art.
This is my list – I look at it whenever I need to get back to neutral.
maybe it could do the same for you or inspire you to write your own.
