The past two Saturdays I taught a two-part writing revision workshop. Here are some quotes I shared with the class.
“The beautiful part of writing is that you don’t have to get it right the first time, unlike, say a brain surgeon.”
Robert Cormier
"There is a difference between a book of 200 pages from the very beginning and a book of 200 pages which is the result of an original 800 pages. The 600 pages are there. Only you don’t see them."
Elie Wiesel, in “The Writer’s Chapbook”
"I looked at the stone and removed all that was not David."
Michelangelo, about his statue of David
