The reason I write as my artistic medium

Said to my mother at Barnes & Noble, 7 March 2008:

"I don't have to patience to do this [art]. You have to have an amount of patience to paint, sketch, alter books, mixed media. I don't have that patience. I don't have patience. You rush through it and you just wasted paper or canvas. That's why I like writing. If you fuck it up the first time, you have a second draft that lies ahead. You fuck that up, you have another draft. Go through as many drafts as necessary until you get it right. That's why I use writing is my art of choice."
