The Writer
~
"A writer lives, at least, in a state of astonishment. Beneath any feeling he has of the good or evil of the world lies a deeper one of wonder at it all. To transmit that feeling, he writes." William Sansom
~
"I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again." Oscar Wilde
~
"You must write every single day of your life…You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads….may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world." Ray Bradbury
~
"The writer's duty is to keep on writing…" William Styron

If she does enough writing and takes enough pictures, maybe we'll be reading her notebooks like those of the guy whose illustrations are on her sweatshirt.

"To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music the words make." Truman Capote Lovely shot, Mark.

With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs. (Thurber)
