(Overheard voice). "Frankly, I'm not that well organized, you might even say I'm guilty of a rather shoot-from- the-hip kind of attitude, an intentionally and patiently cultivated kind of relaxed and rumpled approach to things which keeps me feeling honest. No, you never know for sure you're being honest or not, but I take all this to be a way of saying that I wish to be free to respond to what I experience but want writing to be there when I do. Nothing more, nothing less." (4/4/91)
