“What’s writing really about? It’s about trying to take fuller possession of the reality of your life.” WritingTryingRealityPossession Author:Ted Hughes
“...imagine what you are writing about. See it and live it. Do not think it up laboriously, as if you were working out mental arithmetic. Just look at it, touch it, smell it, listen to it, turn yourself into it. When you do this, the words look after themselves, like magic.” IfsThinkingWritingLooksTurnsImagineMagicWork OutSmellArithmetic Author:Ted Hughes
