  • no wonder she is writer. she must be writing as fast a she speak.

    she have no issue with coming up with ideas

  • Wow, she speaks fast.

  • I use the kernel system too. I start with a small, humble object like a stone and then I start asking questions about it ("Is it a pebble someone would kick along or a big stone someone would sit on or a boulder that might be a land mark? Who would interact with the stone in this way? What are they doing? Who are they?). A world stretches out before you if you make it so organically like that, following the threads it presents itself rather than trying to force the tapestry. I just don't write.

  • Oh dear Lord in a tin can. I mean It was very much a n interesting video, but god damn I agree with the speed.

  • LOL about Hepburn!!!

  • I love how she sounds like Katherine Hepburn on speed.. lol.. I could listen to her talk (or read her writing) all day long.
