A Pondering Mind

A little of this. A little of that.

Novels

“Novels are like paintings, specifically watercolors. Every stroke you put down you have to go with. Of course, you can rewrite, but the original strokes are still there in the texture of the thing.”

~ Joan Didion

      Me neither. Then there’s William S. Burroughs one way of writing, is to take a walk, observe everything you see, and go home and form your ideas from the events, people, etc., etc.
