“Had I not gone through the ordeal, in more than one country, of landing a job, I would he tempted to lose patience over the number of letters pouring in from fellows who want me or someone else to hand them a job on a silver platter with a guarantee that they will receive the wonderful promotion their talents warrant....

“The wonderful fortune of some writers deludes and leads to misery a great number of young people. It cannot be too often repeated that it is dangerous to enter upon a career of letters without some other means of living.

“I kind of enjoy the limits. If you've got no limits, you can do absolutely anything, it's very difficult, actually. I always enjoyed working with machines like color photocopiers and letter-pressing type settings, things where the limits are very apparent. You push the machine to do something, and it tries to do its best, and it usually has wonderful qualities all of its own. Then you get a sort of dialogue going, and the limitations become qualities.” IfsTryingKindEnjoyDifficultCan DoQualityWonderfulColorTypeLimitsLettersMachinesSettingDialogueSettingsEnjoyedLimitation Author:Dave McKean

“You have to get inside the people you are writing about. You have to go below the surface. And that's to a very large degree what all writers are doing - they're trying to get below the surface. Whether it's in fiction or poetry or writing history and biography. Some people make that possible because they write wonderful letters and diaries. And you have to sort of go where the material is.” PeopleWritingTryingFictionWonderfulMaterialsDegreesLettersSurfaceBiographiesDiariesBelow The SurfaceWriting History Author:David McCullough

“To aspiring writers, I would tell them that we live in a wonderful time where you're able to make your work visible, easily. If you think about it, even ten years ago or twenty years ago, there was a middle man, there was a publisher, there were studios, there was this world of rejection letters.

“I received a wonderful email after I spoke at a school from a girl who'd lived in a war zone and endured horrors no human being should suffer, let alone a child. This young lady was fortunate to be bought to Britain and seemed to adjust well, but suddenly found herself falling off the rails and sliding into hell when I chatted to her. In her letter, she told me the difference that I'd made. She's now 20 years old and a fashion designer employing staff and she puts her work ethic down purely to talking to me. It's my most treasured letter.” ShouldYearsHumansWellsChildrenMadeWarSchoolYoungSufferingFallGirlFoundDifferencesHuman BeingsTalkingHellWonderfulFashionHorrorEthicsLettersFortunateDesignerBritainZoneSpokesStaffWork EthicEmailRailFashion DesignerEmployingYoung LadiesTreasuredFalling OffWar Zones Author:Simon Weston
