“I have a lot of interest in interior rhyming; not just rhyming at the end of the lines, but playing around with rhymes within the lines, playing with where the syllabic emphases in the sentences are, lining those up at strange moments in the line of the song. I’m not sure if that comes across or not.” IfsEndsMomentsSongInterestLinesStrangeSentencesNot SureRhymeInteriorsEmphasisRhymingPlaying Around Author:Joanna Newsom
“The sentences I write have their roots in song and poetry, and take their bearings from music and painting, as much as from the need to impart mere information, or mirror anything. I am not a realist writer, even if I seem like one.” IfsNeedsWritingSeemsSongInformationPaintingRootsMirrorsMereSentencesRealistImpart Author:Colm Toibin
“I always look for a "rhythm" in my writing. A cadence to the sentences. Sometimes I think of pieces I write in a song writing infrastructure - i.e., a verse, a chorus that I return to, a bridge that's something differenct, a chorus that I return to.” ThinkingWritingLooksSometimesSongPiecesReturnSentencesRhythmBridgesVersesInfrastructureChorusCadence Author:Mitch Albom
