I heard Walter Mosley speak this summer at Thrillerfest. As a writer, I found him to be inspirational for a couple of reasons. He made two comments that I still remember from his presentation five months ago. They are guidelines about being a writer:
1) Write three hours EVERY day
2) Read poetry
I like speakers who say a few key things that are memorable and will actually make a difference to my writing life.
Since I have been home in Calgary, I have tried to follow his suggestions, but as always, life gets in the way. However, I have finished one short story and a new website, so that's all good.
I bought one of Walter's books at the bookstore at Thrillerfest called Rose Gold. I'll let you know what I think.
