The Place For My Writers Notes

Original posting 3 July 2008

And as the day rolls near, let us consider:

"We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started -- and know the place for the first time." T.S. Eliot

"Success is often the result of taking a misstep in the right direction." Al Bernstein

"The best way out is always through." Robert Frost

"You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom." Malcolm X.

"Each reckons greatness to consist
in that in which he heads the list,

And Vierick thinks he tops his class
Because he is the greatest ass." Ambrose Bierce

Pick one or more of these. Then twist, cajole, rewrite, substitute slightly different words or even totally different words. Consider it in terms of concrete situations or perhaps just ice cream cones. Make that aphorism do some work, and then consider telling the rest of us what sort of a job it does for you.

And enjoy corn on the cob or whatever you have for your Fourth!

Writing - the way to reach readers!
