THE TRUTH ABOUT WRITING
"No great work is ever done in a hurry. To develop a great scientific discovery, to paint a great picture, to write an immortal poem, to become a minster, or a famous general - to do anything great requires time, patience, and perseverance.
These things are done by degrees,
Little by Little.
Milton did not write
Paradise Lost at a sitting, nor did
Shakespeare compose
Hamlet in a day. The greatest writers must begin with the alphabet; the most famous musicians once picked out their notes laboriously; a child must learn to draw a straight line before he can develop into a
Titian or a
Michaelangelo." (
William J. Wilmont Buxton)
To Reiterate
The greatest writers must begin with the alphabet. With words. You too must start there.
To do anything great requires time, patience, and perseverance. Get started.
And that, my friends, is the good news as well as the bad.

Phyllis McGinley
The wonderful thing about saints is that they were human. They lost their tempers, scolded God, were egotistical or test or impatient in their turns, made mistakes and regretted them. Still they went on doggedly blundering toward heaven.
