John’s Journal – page 1 – I haven’t written much fiction. And what I did write, at least in the past, was mostly just plain hard work. Poetry was always easier for me. Even writing a piece in a traditional style was always easier than prose. I guess I was a bit hung up on the rules, till I threw them away.

This book is almost writing itself. Not that I’m complaining. Long may it last.

Perhaps the only thing we can be sure about is that we can’t be sure about anything. I guess that’s just my way of saying that the following is possibly no more than a humble opinion: I think that we are too much about love to be anything other than Love itself. I’m not just […]
