Barry Jenkins was pretty cool.

I'm very grateful to Barry Jenkins, who took a chance on me.

I get invited to do panels with other Brooklyn writers to discuss what it's like to be a writer in Brooklyn. I expect it's like writing in Manhattan, but there aren't as many tourists walking very slowly in front of you when you step out for coffee. It's like writing in Paris, but there are fewer people speaking French.

Colson Whitehead

Writing can come naturally to some. Still, when it comes to good writing, this is true: Easy reading is damn hard writing.

You don't see what's gone before. A lot of that can be long, long boring hours in the gym, long, long hours on the track or, for the likes of Paula Radcliffe, long hours out on the road in the rain running and running.
