Dear God:
Today, I am thankful for a writer's struggles.
What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
~Samuel Johnson
Hard writing makes easy reading. Easy writing makes hard reading.
~William Zinsser
When I'm wearing my writer's hat, I embrace all the struggles of my craft. On a good day, I'll produce five or six well-written paragraphs for "the book" or one finished poem. Most days, I end up with pages of "stuff" - sentence and paragraph fragments that, hopefully, will soon inspire a best-selling book.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
