Charles Bukowski on Writing
What? Another Bukowski quote? When are you going to write something, Klaus!?!
Never fear, a little something is coming tomorrow, and a little "something something" is coming on Monday. Stay tuned... -KV
Bukowski on "How to Become a Good Writer"
"The problem with being a poet is that by the time you get well-known you can't write anymore. or, at least, not as well, but, still, being young & unknown isn't the answer either. a lot of them grin out machine-made shit that they think is very real only because they like it. then, they quit. to become a good writer takes time & luck & moxie & no special desire to be a good writer."
-Charles Bukowski to Douglas Blazek, January 15th, 1968
