writing

My favorite piece of technical writing: Assembly of Japanese bicycle require great peace of mind.

Writing without words? Its not easy, I tell you! I stab the pen into my heart and let the blood flow. No more ink, no more words, no more b.s. Just me.

At 4 a.m. i awaken to a whispered gentle plea: paragraphs begging so beautifully: write me, write me, write me.

Know that it is good to work. Work with love, and think of liking it when you do it. It is easy and interesting. It is a privilege. There is nothing hard about it but your anxious vanity and fear of failure.

Inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic energy striving, but it comes to us slowly and quietly and all the time.
