Quotations: "I consider myself a writer/activist. When writing, I follow a basic pattern. I gather far more research than I will ever be able to use, then home in on the essentials. If I have prepared well, often 1 find that my material almost writes itself. My advice to young writers is to read as many diverse types of authors as possible, having faith that one’s own style will eventually emerge. Also, keep a daily journal and seek a wide range of interests. Explore relationships, and one’s own being as it unfolds through these relationships, as deeply as you can. A writer needs to experience life to the fullest extent, and be willing to face one’s own limitations at the same time."
Dick Russell married Etta Green. They have one child, Franklin D.
