“Suppose it ill paid: the wonder is it should be paid at all. Other men pay, & pay dearly, for pleasures less desirable.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson, “Letter to a young gentleman who proposes to embrace the career of art” – via @gutenberg_org

It's National Writing Day, so spend it on the part that actually matters: writing new pages.
The trouble is every new page has to stay true to the hundreds before it. Nobody holds all of that in their head.

Here’s what #writing is to me.
A way of expressing the ideas nibbling at your brain.
Your precious thoughts in a moment are documented forever. Each story is a timestamp of your thought process and worldview at the time you wrote it. A careful store of memories.
When your story connects and your words turn out to be what someone is waiting to hear at just the right time, it’s like magic.
Happy #nationalwritingday
