writers on writing

"You must have enough pride to insist that every sentence is the best sentence you can write to say what must be said. If you write yourself into a muddle, don't try to salvage the sentence by bending it in another direction or tacking something onto the end. Throw it out and start again. Every time." ~Roscoe C. Born
