Thought for the Day Talent isn't enough.....

[Paul Whybrow]

Talent isn’t enough . . . Writing is work. Anyone can do this, anyone can learn to do this. It’s not rocket science, it’s habits of mind and habits of work. I started with people much more talented than me, and they’re dead or in jail or not writing. The difference between myself and them is that I’m writing.

[Vagabond Heart]

Alas, Ms Dillard, I have never heard of you, nor seen anything you've written... Not that I can imagine that upsetting you any.
