What I mean to say is...

(In a letter to KB)

What I mean to say is...
Do not sit idly by and wait for the inevitable rejection letters.
Do not allow them not to hear your words that burn. Make them hear you.
Publish your own books, start literary mobs, scream your words until they burn the very sky.
If you do not have books, write pamphlets, flyers, hand your work to the commoners like Jehovah's Witness.
They shall know your velocity, make them know your name.
Do not write what they think is good. Write what you know is good.
If you know you are good, make them know it.
Do not allow words to fail you.
Take what you want from this world.
Leave your markings behind... red and lovely.
