Each time i have the urge in me to make a statement or send a message or to issue a manifesto, i don't bother to write a novel. i write an article and publish it in a popular newspaper, or i make a television appearance. i would not waste five years of my life in order to send to the israeli readers a simple message such as, "let us change a policy or stop the settlements," or, "let us strive for peace." this is not what it is about.

Manifesto. read my manifesto. i`ve written a manifesto. it`s all in the manifesto!
Manifestos Written
If you want to write, write it. that's the first rule. and send it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. don't send it to me. don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. they're not going to publish it.

Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.
Summer Autumn Winter
But it's clear to me that us slow-poke writers are a dying breed. it's amazing how thoroughly my young writing students have internalized the new machine rhythm, the rush many of my young writers are in to publish. the majority don't want to sit on a book for four, five years. the majority don't want to listen to the silence inside and outside for their artistic imprimatur. the majority want to publish fast, publish now.
