Everything I write about writing (and maybe everything I write period) I mean it in some way to inspire the determined writer to not only keep writing but to write his or her way, make his or her discoveries, find his or her voice, make and break his or her rules, and to see writing not (only) as a mad blind chase after bestselling masterpieces, cosmic fame, mountains of money, and the admiring eyes and words of billions of complete strangers, but . . . an utterly spiritual pursuit.Richard Martin....https://www.blogger.com/profile/16273600795077303960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427443729044349473.post-2350059288541883582010-07-20T15:06:18.797-07:002010-07-20T15:06:18.797-07:00You set out to accomplish a big task and though yo...You set out to accomplish a big task and though you didn't offer the full 100, the ones you did were very helpful. <br /><br />Personally, #90 was probably the one that helped me the most. I've been overthinking things with my own work and now I see that more clearly. I just need to write what I think of as a 'masterpiece' and let everything else go. Thanks for that.<br /> <br />And in response to #87, I would like to say that 'family of leaves' is very beautiful phrase indeed. <br /><br />Best of luck with your novel.M.
