The Secret of Writing
"Itt misleading to think of writere as special ffeaturg, word sorcere6who possess some sort of magic knowledge hidden from everyoneelse. Writers are qdinary people who like to write. They feel theurge to write and scratch that itch ewry chance they have. Wrlbe6get their ideas down on paper using particular strdtegies that seemto work for them. The strategis are available to anyore who wantsto be a writer.
REVEALED!
There is no s€cret, but there is a process. fu writing isn't forged bymagic or hakhed out of thin air. Good writing happens whenhuman beings follow partjcular steps to take conkol of theirsentences-to make their words do what they want them to do."
( serpt from HOW WRITERS WORK by Ralph Fleicfw)
