Stone walls confine a tinker cold iron binds a witch but a musician's music can never be fettered for it lives first in her heart and mind.

At the very end of a book I can manage to work for longer stretches but mostly making stuff up for three hours that's enough. I can't do any more. At the end of the day I might tinker with my morning's work and maybe write some again. But I think three hours is fine.

We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.
