Aspiring Writers Info: Writing a Sentence
So often we talk about "X things you need to know about writing Y." I think we often forget that first, you must learn to listen to your own voice.
Verlyn Klinkenborg writes about how the medium doesn't matter -- we have everything we need:
I’m repeatedly asked how I write, what my “process” is. My answer is simple: I think patiently, trying out sentences in my head. That is the root of it. What happens on paper or at the keyboard is only distantly connected. The virtue of working this way is that circumstances — time, place, tools — make no difference whatsoever. All I need is my head. All I need is the moments I have.
It's the NY Times, so the link will expire.
