On Writing
With writing (and especially with fiction) there are so many obstacles, so many hurdles, such a long road to traverse to have even a modicum of success, that it can feel like there’s no point in even trying. But as it happens, whatever we ultimately accomplish with our writing lies largely in what we do—or don’t do—when we can’t get what we want.
— Therese Anne Fowler
“…it can feel like there’s no point in even trying.”
Feeling it right now. Hopefully, I will get over this hurdle in the new year. :)
Mmm. How writing forms our character is ultimately more important than what we end up writing. Character over content, it seems.
*files quote away in my brain*
That’s a good way to put it.
Keep plowing, Linda! I’m cheering you on.
