Well, that was incredible.
Something to come upon in book on writing.

Yes, Fresca, absolutely. Perhaps that’s the reason there are writers who are able to start well only with age, assuming wisdom has joined them. I know I feel more like I have something to say than when I was 30. But I also need the time to figure out how to say what I’m saying (structure), and that comes usually only after time and much work. I’m finally accepting it!

I don’t much care for gilded writing (or design), usually.
I prefer writing that is what Ezra Pound called “sparing with the mortar.”
To write this way well, you have to know what you’re saying.
This is the hardest thing of all.
