Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader — not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon.
— E. L. Doctorow
When I’m writing, I am concentrating almost wholly on concrete detail: the color a room is painted, the way a drop of water rolls off a wet leaf after a rain.
— Donna Tartt
There are many realities. We should remember this when we get too caught in being concerned about the way the rest of the world lives or how we think they live. There is just our lives and how we want to write and how we want to touch the rain, the table, the music, paper cups, and pine trees.
— Natalie Goldberg

Thanks! It was a fun day to walk the dog.
