StrayFathersDeath062.jpg

This partial page free-write, composed late a night, describes the emotional state Cormier seeks when he sits down at his typewriter. It provides an example of his feelings after his father’s death. Cormier frequently writes and speaks about the role of emotion in his writing, but this draft provides a more intimate explanation of his process.
