More From John Sandford

My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. pull down thy vanity, it is not man made courage, or made order, or made grace, pull down thy vanity, i say pull down. learn of the green world what can be thy place in scaled invention or true artistry, pull down thy vanity, paquin pull down! the green casque has outdone your elegance.
Courage Learning Men
If only you’d remember before ever you sit down to write that you’ve been a reader long before you were ever a writer. you simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world buddy glass would most want to read if he had his heart’s choice. the next step is terrible, but so simple i can hardly believe it as i write it. you just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself. i won’t even underline that. it’s too important to be underlined.
Believe Writing Heart
If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three inches, that is not progress. even if you pull it all the way out, that is not progress. progress is healing the wound, and america hasn't even begun to pull out the knife.

Take out another notebook, pick up another pen, and just write, just write, just write. in the middle of the world, make one positive step. in the center of chaos, make one definitive act. just write. say yes, stay alive, be awake. just write. just write. just write.
Notebook Writing Alive
The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.

Poetry is the gate through which i enter the land of enchantment. once inside the flaming wall, my limitations fall from me, and my spirit is free.

What is a well-chosen collection of pictures, but walls hung round with thoughts?
Wall Wells Chosen
My bad head cannot adjust itself to the way things are.... if i want to depict spring, it has to be in wintertime; if i want to describe a beautiful landscape, i must be enclosed within walls; and i have said a hundred times that if i were put in the bastille, there i would paint a picture of liberty.

The walls have ears, better think before you throw that shoe.
