Quotable You

I enjoy listening to the way writers talk. Tina, who protested she wasn't really a writer, described her fascination with words and letters in a way that captivated me. The other day, A.V. talked about the close relationship between reading and writing, books and the pen. "They are left kidney, right kidney," she said. I love that!

I'll bet you talk like a writer, too, when you're not even trying. Betcha can't help putting interesting phrases out into the atmosphere.

Catch yourself saying something interesting, admit that it's pretty darn good, and write it down.
