Samuel Johnson, on writing:


In this work are exhibited, in a very high degree, the two most engaging powers of an author.
New things are made familiar, and familiar things are made new.

When you write ...




When you write ...
 
write with all your heart ...
 
write it for yourself  – as if you are the only one who will ever read it ...
 
write the shit out of it!
