Quote du Jour, again

January 5, 2007 by Shannon McNear 2 Comments

Someone posted this on the ACFW list today (yesterday, now, but who’s checking?):

What you want is practice, practice, practice. It doesn’t matter what we write (at least this is my view) at our age, so long as we write continually as well as we can. I feel that every time I write a page either of prose or of verse, with real effort, even if it’s thrown into the fire the next minute, I am so much further on. – C.S. Lewis, Letters of C.S. Lewis to Arthur Greeves

    Great quote…I figure if CS Lewis says I should practice, then I should! 🙂

    There’s a certain comfort in hearing that that C.S. Lewis wrote drivel too.
