“I don't know much about creative writing programs. But they're not telling the truth if they don't teach, one, that writing is hard work, and, two, that you have to give up a great deal of life, your personal life, to be a writer." ~
Doris Lessing (Persian born British Novelist and short-story Writer b.1919)

I learned today (11/06/10) that this (mangled as I made it) is actually the refrain in the George Harrison song, Any Road. My apologies for thinking I was the first to write it down.

It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? for the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind. ~ Vita Sackville-West
