http://www.towritewell.com To Write Well is a private, educational organization founded on the belief that memorable writing is not a mystery, but a process of discovery; that it does not belong to a privileged few, but to those who have a desire to express their thoughts clearly. http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss en-us isaac@dwstudios.net isaac@dwstudios.net March 14, 2006 March 14, 2006 Writing 720 http://www.dwstudios.net/RSS/towritewellrss.jpg http://www.towritewell.com 144 144 http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=impactofstyle-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0195115430&fc%0D%0A%0D%0A1=000000&=1&lc1=0000ff&bc1=000000&lt1=_blank&IS2=1&f=ifr&bg1=ffffff&f=ifr You know, I really should be working on my novel series, but there are times when my muse balks, gleefully withholding its magic from my proposed path--no doubt a dilemma which you don't struggle with. Be that as it may, my muse won, so I let go of the novel and came here to stir up some trouble. To that end, let me ask you: How much of our art is creative instinct and how much is sweat and blood? I mean really! Aren't we creatures of instinct, artisans of the word, sculptors of language, driven to delve into the block of our humanity and expose the buried truth of our pitiful existence? I could continue ad nauseum, but hyperbole aside, admit it! We are all these things, if not more. ]]> isaac@dwstudios.net March 14, 2006 Reading http://www.dwstudios.net http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=impactofstyle-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0764121812&fc1=000000&=1&lc1=0000ff&bc1=000000&lt1=_blank&IS2=1&f=ifr&bg1=ffffff&f=ifr ]]> isaac@dwstudios.net March 14, 2006 Style http://www.dwstudios.net
