Writer’s Wisdom ~ T. S. Eliot
But nobody can tell you how to start writing. The only good reason for writing is that one has to write. ~ T. S. Eliot
Writer’s Wisdom ~ Rachel Carson

Ray Bradbury’s Writing Wisdom #15

Thoughts on Writing by Ray Bradbury
For the next (fill in a number) days I will present Thoughts on Writing by Ray Bradbury from his book, Zen in the Art of Writing.
I’ve read Bradbury’s book four times and I’m starting my fifth read. Beginning tomorrow, I will share Ray Bradbury’s wisdom on writing as I re-read his book. ENJOY.
