“I love writing in longhand. Writing in longhand, I think, is a marvelous thing to do for a writer these days. If you have a notebook and a nice pen you can go off somewhere, you can write that's solar powered. You can drop it or get it wet and pretty much all of your work will continue to be there. If you suddenly decide to look up a word or check a reference you will not look up four hours later, blinking, finding yourself somehow in the middle of an Ebay auction you never had any plans to be part of.” IfsThinkingWritingLooksHoursFourNicePlansMiddleFindingsChecksThese DaysThings To DoLook UpFinding YourselfPensWetMarvelousNotebookAuctionsEbayMarvelous Things Author:Neil Gaiman
“Roads are wet where'er one wendeth, And with rain the thistle bendeth, And the brook cries like a child! Not a rainbow shines to cheer us; Ah! the sun comes never near us, And the heavens look dark and wile.” LooksChildrenHeavenDarkSunCryRainShiningCheerWetRainbowBrooksThistles Author:Mary Howitt
