a tuesday thought

Posted on 26 January 2010

Writing is waiting
and problem solving
and waiting and
starting over
and giving up and changing your
mind and reading
sentences until they drip from your ears
and redoing them again.

    You know that saying, “A saint is a sinner who keeps trying?”
    I’d say the same thing about a writer!

    On a related note, I thought about you and me, who both say we are “slow” when I read this quote from Confucius:
    “It doesn’t matter how slow you go so long as you don’t stop.”

    And now I’ve reached my quote limit of the day.

    Those are good quotes, Fresca. So where I’m at. Always. And it’s not bad, yes? Thanks.

    with you in the slow.

    It’s turned out to be a good pace, after all, Deb.
