If it doesn't come
bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.

Unless it comes unasked
out of your heart
and your mind
and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.

If you have to sit for hours
staring at your computer screen
or hunched over your typewriter
searching for words,
don't do it.

If you're doing it
for money
or fame,
don't do it.

If you're doing it
because you want women
in your bed,
don't do it.

If you have to sit there
and rewrite it again and again,
don't do it.

If it's hard work
just thinking about doing it,
don't do it.

If you're trying to write
like somebody else,
forget about it.

If you have to wait
for it to roar out of you,
then wait patiently.
If it never does roar out of you,
do something else.

If you first have to read it
to your wife
or your girlfriend
or your boyfriend
or your parents
or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.

Don't be like so many writers,
don't be like so many thousands of people
who call themselves writers.
Don't be dull
and boring
and pretentious,
don't be consumed with self - love.

The libraries of the world
have yawned themselves
to sleep over your kind.

Don't add to that.
Don't do it.

Unless it comes out of your soul
like a rocket,
unless being still
would drive you to madness
or suicide
or murder,
don't do it.

Unless the sun inside you
is burning your gut,
don't do it.

When it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by itself
and it will keep on doing it
until you die
or it dies in you.

There is no other way.
And there never was.
