I’m in the middle of the painful process of editing/rewriting my latest book. I heard this quote this morning and had to share it with you, because it resonates with me . . . especially today.
Dorothy Parker’s advice to anyone who has any young friends who aspire to become writers:
1) The 2nd greatest favor you can do them, is present them with copies of Strunk & White’s book, Elements of Style.
2) The 1st greatest favor is . . . to shoot them now, while they’re happy.

Ah, it’s true. But isn’t it always great to HAVE written? We’re glad you’re pursuing the struggle, Arron!
