More From Henry Rollins

It is not the high summer alone that is god's. the winter also is his. and into his winter he came to visit us. and all man's winters are his - the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of our unhappiness - even 'the winter of our discontent.
Summer Winter Men
Plot comes first. the plot is the archictecture of your novel. you wouldn't build a house without a plan. if i wrote without a plot, it would just be a pile of bricks. characters are your servants. they must serve your plot.
Character House Firsts
Any plot you impose on your characters will be onomatopoetic: plot. i say don't worry about plot. worry about the characters. let what they say or do reveal who they are, and be involved in their lives, and keep asking yourself, now what happens? the development of relationship creates plot.
Character Worry Plot
Spring is the season of gaiety, and winter of terror; in spring the heart of tranquility dances to the melody of the groves, and the eye of benevolence sparkles at the sight of happiness and plenty: in winter, compassion melts at universal calamity, and the tear of softness starts at the wailing of hunger and the cries of the creation in distress
Spring Heart Eye
So spring comes merry towards me here, but earns no answering smile from me, whose life is twin'd with the dead boughs that winter still must bind, and whom today the spring no more concerns. behold, this crocus is a withering flame; this snowdrop, snow; this apple-blossom's part to breed the fruit that breeds the serpent's art. nay, for these spring-flowers, turn thy face from them, nor stay till on the year's last lily-stem the white cup shrivels round the golden heart.

Chris claremont once said of alan moore, "if he could plot, we'd all have to get together and kill him." which utterly misses the most compelling part of alan's writing, the way he develops and expresses ideas and character. plot does not define story. plot is the framework within which ideas are explored and personalities and relationships are unfolded.

Writing is far too hard work to say what someone else wants me to. serving it as a craft, using it as a way of growing in my own understanding, seems to me to be a beautiful way to live. and if that product is shareable with other people, so much the better.
Beautiful Hard Work Writing
When i start writing, my unconscious, my conflicts, my thoughts all start to come up. so for me, writing is an exploration. i never know how my stories will end.
Writing Stories Conflict
Stories may well be lies, but they are good lies that say true things, and which can sometimes pay the rent.
Lying Writing Stories
Pessimism is easy. we all can do it. we don't need to read books on how to be pessimists. we don't need guidance on how to think negatively. but we do need guidance on how to think positively. people that write books on how to do that are multimillionaires.
