Vizh kakvo, sednesh li da pishesh, vinagi gledai da se seshchash, che predi da stanesh pisatel, d'lgo vreme si bil chitatel. Zapechatal vedn'zh tova v glavata si, siadash spokoino i se zapitvash kakva tvorba bi se kharesala nai-mnogo na B'di Glas kato chitatel, ako triabva da izbira po s'rtse. Sledvashchata st'pka, reshitelnata, e tolkova prosta, che chak ne e za viarvane. Siadash i bez da ti migne okoto, napisvash sam tvorbata. Dori ne podchertavam tova. To e tolkova vazhno, che ne se nuzhdae ot podchertavane. O, B'di, imai tazi smelost. Doveri se na s'rtseto si. Ti si dostoen khudozhnik i to niama da ti izneveri. If only you'd remember before ever you sit down to write that you've been a reader long before you were ever a writer. You simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world Buddy Glass would most want to read if he had his heart's choice. The next step is terrible, but so simple I can hardly believe it as I write it. You just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself. I won't even underline that. It's too important to be underlined. Oh, dare to do it, Buddy ! Trust your heart. You're a deserving craftsman. It would never betray you.
