The most important thing is to live an interesting life. Keep your eyes, ears and heart open. Talk to people and visit interesting places, and don't forget to ask questions. To be a writer you need to drink in the world around you so it's always there in your head.

I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender...Back in the 1950s and '60s...Only when the tide goes out...If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel...Begin, be bold and venture to be wise...No memory is ever alone; it's at the end of a trail...
