Harold, Thanks for posting this piece. Among my favorites: "We often discuss art this way: the artist had something he 'wanted to express,' and then he just, you know … expressed it.” I also loved the Einstein quote, "No worthy problem is ever solved in the plane of its original conception.” And the political commentary commentary. (Intentional repetition.) Oh. And I would much rather NOT think of myself as preferring writing to speaking because when I write I appear as “less of a dope than usual.” The truth hurts. : ) Janis Walker Gilmore Pawleys Island, SC, & Seattle, WA (but back in SC, so might drop that “Seattle” part for a while!) > On Mar 5, 2017, at 8:24 AM, Harold Henderson <librarytraveler@gmail.com> wrote: > > https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/mar/04/what-writers-really-do-when-they-write > > This is by a fiction writer about his kind of writing but I found plenty of > interesting nuggets, especially in the first part.

LOL, Janis, that's one reason I'm trying to phase out of speaking . . .
