The worst readers of all are those who tell writers what to write and how to write it.

To improve your handwriting, practice writing big if your penmanship is small and practice writing small if your penmanship is big.

Do not abhor being haunted by unpleasant memories. Instead, learn how to burn them as creative fuel to propel your art.

The Truth Is Not Out There.

It Is Within You.

Congratulations to Pamela Tham (_Waiting for Marimekko_), who won First Prize under the Open Category in the recent 24-Hour Playwriting Competition sponsored by TheatreWorks Singapore! Congratulations also to Clara Chow (_Birth Days_) and Jason Montes (_Gigantocmachy_), who won Merit awards under the same category! 

Pamela, Clara, and Jason were my students in the _Writing from The Heart_ workshops I conducted in Singapore.

Practice writing in a place that provides many distractions. First merge with your surroundings, and then write. The more you do this, the more you will be able to write without having to isolate yourself. You will also eventually discover that your writing takes on additional dimensions, because your mind connects not only with your personal unconscious but with the Collective Unconscious.

Never conduct the same workshop twice. Otherwise you will eventually get bored with your own exercises.

My writing habits are quite eccentric. I begin passages on Word and keep rewriting them until I have the right point of attack. Then I switch to writing with my dragon pen in a dedicated notebook. I encode that and continue writing on Word again. I switch regularly between computer-encoding and writing in cursive. It gives me the best of both writing sensations.

It is like living my current lifetime and simultaneously reliving a past lifetime.
