Some of my favorite things he said:
"WITH craft, any story can be sold and published..."
"so the truth you tell will be read and published"
being active about what makes good writing.
all writers become haunted
essentially when you write, others that read what you write are reading YOU.
when you have the craft the next thing you need to do is to be yourself.
Taking the risk of being yourself.
Fantastic.
"I too can be rejected so get over it."
I love this. I downloaded the video. It is very inspirational.
Wow! That's cool. I'd love to have been there. I'm at work so I can't listen to his speech. I'll have to wait until I get home (to my house, in ONTARIO).
I haven't read his work, although I keep meaning to. His name is always on my must-read list. Maybe I'll go out at lunch and treat myself to a book! Thanks for the reminder about this wonderful author, Kevin.
I also loved his emphasis on craft and how a mastery of craft allows you to express who you are. I'm going to hunt down some of his stories now. Thank you for posting this!
