| Melissa: | Isn't the hardest thing about writing the start? |
| Satoru: | Yeah. Most folks are too anxious about initial quality that they can't get their ideas across. |
| Liao: | I think good writing starts with silence and has ample breathing space . . . |
| Melissa: | Huh? Breathing space? |
| Liao: | Yeah, breating space is what brings us back to silence. The purpose of writing is to bring us to silence. |
| TIm: | I dunno – there are so many different writing genres. . . it seems naive to imagine all start from the same place or serve the same purpose. |
