It's lovely to see his hard work right in front of you. Many writers are in such a hurry to publish and don't take the time to hone their crafts, making their stories hollow. I think it's so important as a writer to put this kind of commitment into writing, because it enriches your own life and the lives of many others. That's what writing is supposed to be, after all.
I used to dream of a house with Italian marble and all the luxuries but after seeing his way of living, I am reminded luxury is not in the material world you ensemble around you... it’s about how rich you can be within

Seeing all of those drafts is really inspiring, and he is such a fascinating man! Thank you for putting this up for people to see.
Lovely. Thank you.
That's what writing every night from 10pm - 6am looks like over 30 years. Sure enjoyed meeting with Nichols last summer in Taos.
Thanks for posting this... What a great author!
