[Though Wilson was the most notable playwright of his generation, he doesn't seem to have influenced younger writers. He doesn't have obvious imitators.] It would almost amount to arrogance to try to imitate him,.. His writing is so personal, with its musical rhythms.

We have to think of society's portrayal of salesmen as not true to life but as that great American character making it against the odds, the hustler. It's not that we tend to think of salespeople as evil hucksters, but that the writers and directors see them as characters relying only on their wit, character and drive.

I don't think there's a neighborhood where more writers live. There is no neighborhood in the world - and I've looked - with more independent bookstores in such a small area.

Um, well, it varies, doesn't it? I think it's a mix. I think you've got to have research. I would like you to come up with some original material that no one has written about or known before. And a personal angle that kind of brings it to life for the reader. It's a mix of four or five different things, and I think it's interesting how some writers do 10 percent of this and 90 percent of the other. And some people do 20 percent of everything.

[And while it might seem a given that any writer willing to take the time to pound out 25,000 words on a single disc would choose their all-time desert island pick, that's not always the case.] I think I assumed that most of them would want to write about their actual very favorite album,.. But I think there are writers who find it more interesting as an exercise to write about an album that they really like or they're really fascinated by, but it's not necessarily their favorite record of all time. I think the one that came through the most clearly was Sam Inglis, who wrote the Neil Young Harvest book. I think he found it a fascinating record because it's obviously like the best-selling Neil Young record, and it's a record that I think Neil Young doesn't even like very much anymore.

I didn't expect to be up here. I'm quite humbled by this and the main reason I'm humbled is that there were four others who could easily be up here; that humbles me. We have so many good writers in this country.

That was never designed to be a staple of the show that we would revisit week after week after week. That was something that these two sort of brought to life, and that's a perfect example of something that they did that then informed the writers that this is a part of the show.

I have an eclectic past,.. But I intentionally have pursued that because there are so many interesting points of view that I want to explore. I think I'm not quite as all over the map as maybe people think. There's a certain reason that I have done all those plays. I tend to gravitate to the writers that I think are trying to say something, or who are outside of the center a bit and who are trying to break in and get their point of view expressed.

It's nice when people say they want to raise money for you. Because it was brought to us by the writers, it was even more special.

It's sort of like the old writers block. Once we score that goal and see what clicks, we'll be able to do it again and again. Right now I don't care who scores, we need to get those goals.

The Center for New England Culture is pleased to continue its partnership with the Center for the Study of Community at Strawbery Banke Museum. The two centers have worked together over the past year with English as a Second Language teachers in area high schools and with local students from Indonesia, China, and other nations on an oral history project to document their experiences. The work of these students will be featured at the conference, making it truly a community project, and the keynote presentation by Charles Simic will bring the insights of one of Americas preeminent writers to the theme of language and immigration.

As we have the last three years, we asked past and present teammates and other New York sports figures to participate in our fundraising golf tournament,.. Despite their often busy schedules, many of these athletes, coaches, team executives, announcers and writers came to help us raise money for a truly good cause.

When I saw him speak here before, I could look into the audience and see people who look like him laughing at things I didn't know the references to. There is an intimacy between Chicago writers and the population of this city that I find really wonderful. It's warm and it's welcoming. It's a little like going to a Baptist church. They know when to say 'Amen'.

Actors, writers, singers, dancers, comedians, belly dancers with snakes, you name it, they've been here. My job is to listen to their ideas or watch them perform, and maybe help them reshape and refine their acts so that I can start calling producers and directors to help them get jobs.

I have always been influenced by country artists along my musical journey. Lately, I have been fortunate enough to be working with some of the great Nashville writers. I look forward to participating as a guest judge in a musical genre that is so close to my heart.

If a book doesn't grab me in the first chapter, I may not bother with it,.. As writers we're told that you have to catch readers in the first paragraph, but that is easier said than done.

We try to get them comfortable here with the idea of writing, and keep them writing when they leave. We're all storytellers. We may not become professional, or published writers. But we can learn to preserve our stories on paper or video.
