You can't be a writer

...if you're not going to be fearless.  The world has too much repetition, too much sanitized prose, too many cliches.  Take your character and tear a big hole in him/her.  Flaw them.  Then take words and flay them.  Beat them down and watch them as they stand.  Make epics out of molehills.

I'm still too timid.  Time to put blood in the inkwell.
