Hubert Selby Jr.

Hubert Selby Jr. developed his writing craft in his 40s after a life of drug and alcohol addiction. He would write letters every day to his friends. Soon he began to write short stories and novels. This is the route I've decided to take. Not the alcohol and drug addiction route. I'm going to write letters. If I can't tell someone about my day, life, year, thoughts, hopes, or dreams, how will I ever perfect my ability to create characters that have all of those elements?

Tomorrow I write letters.
