“I've always known that the best part of writing occurs before you've picked up a pen. When a story exists only in your mind, its potential is infinite; it's only when you start pinning words to paper that it becomes less than perfect. You have to make your choices, set your limits. Start whittling away at the cosmos, and don't stop until you've narrowed it down to a single, ordinary speck of dirt. And in the end, what you've made is not nearly as glorious as what you've thrown away.” WritingMindMadeEndsStoriesChoicesPerfectKnownLimitsPaperOrdinaryInfiniteGloriousThrownCosmosPensDirtSpecksWhittling Author:Carolyn Parkhurst
