A LOT
A lot of what I learned about
writing I learned from boxers.
The fighting guys, not dogs.
A boxer worth his salt never
comes out swinging and going
at it frontal, from the start.
First he encircles, maybe hovers
dances around, comes forward
and then retreats. It's all slow
action to the roll and the reel
of the authentic first swing.
-
It's like that with writing to.
Whatever I've got to say, I
never go there first. The
circling and the swan. The
bend, and only then the
lunge. Coming forward,
to hit the mark.
