Things I am learning from Sugar:

• I am too high and too low. You loathe yourself, and yet you're consumed by the grandiose ideas you have about your own importance. You're up too high and down too low. Neither is the place where we get any work done. We get the work done on the ground level.
• That you're so bound up about writing tells me that writing is what you're here to do. And when people are here to do that, they almost always tell us something we need to hear. I want to know what you have inside you. I want to see the contours of your second beating heart.
• Write like a motherfucker.
• "Prestigious" comes from the Latin praestigiae, which means "conjuror's tricks."
• Mrs. CS has a neat way of coring the apple of my issues. Highly instructive and clear.
