Quote by Chila Woychik

“When reading a book, one hopes it doesn’t turn into a painful process. Predictable is bad enough. Laborious is acceptable if the labor produces fruit. But with painfully bad writing, all one can do is grab a hatchet, slice off its head, and bury it.”

All that is by way of example. As a matter of fact I am a professed literary thief, hot after the best methods of every writer in my generation.”
