“Don’t wait for anything. Just wait for your own agreement. When you think you’re ready. Two poems. One poem. A broadside. Anything. Get it out. Because if you don’t, you’re constipating yourself. It’s true. You walk around with a whole sheaf of stuff that you’re not publishing, that’s constipation because your mind is fixed on that, and you’re not going to do much until you get that out of you. And once you–even if it’s on Kinko’s paper– do something with it, it’s out of you. That act will get it out of you and then you can go on to your next thing. But you have got to do it.” ~ Amiri Baraka
