“Good writing, in my opinion, is writing that looks really easy, so easy that a person who has never written more than a grocery list might convince themself that they could also write a book.

I have files full of stories that didn't work for whatever reason.” KnowsWritingLooksPersonsSaidBookIdeasReasonStoriesMightEasyOpinionNovelWrittenListsNo IdeaConvinceNow And ThenFilesGroceriesGood WritingGrocery Lists Author:Mary J.
