Advice to a new writer: There are no rules in this profession. Do what is good for you. Read books and watch films that stimulate your writing.

It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there. And somehow, there was a disturbing comfort in that, and, despite myself, I’d envision his face.
