Quote of the Day

July 26, 2014

Writing Is Like Sculpture

July 26, 2014/ JW

Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain.
