“There was a time when I smoked big Havana cigars while writing, not for the nicotine (I didn‘t inhale) but as an #anchor, something to hold on to, I told myself, to keep from falling over the edge of the earth. Eventually, I began to wonder what it would be like to take that fall. So one day I threw out the cigars and just let go. Falling, I must say, has been exhilarating -- though I may change my mind when I hit bottom.” #QuotsyMar21
