On Writing

6 Comments

The process of writing has something infinite about it. Even though it is interrupted each night, it is one single notation.
– Elias Canetti

    I’m trying to write at least a few sentences daily, something that should be very manageable…but there are some days I skip. Oh, well….

      I don’t write everyday, but I love the idea of all those small efforts adding up to one single notation.

    I have never encountered another writer who quotes Canetti! Love it.

    One of my favorite faculty members is a poet who keep (and makes his students keep) what he calls a scroll. It is a single word document that he opens every day and adds to – poems or thoughts or prose, unedited. Just casual writing, a continual long document of flowing words. When he’s stuck writing, he can go back to that and cull ideas and lines and words. I’ve seen a few of the students’ and they are an amazing treasure!
