Write Better? Write As If You Have No Time Left to Live
November 11, 2009
With Remembrance day here in Canada I am thinking about all the men and boys who died in the many conflicts across the world, I wonder, why we as writers don’t think about them more often, and why we should write stronger and think about our legacy.
Good thoughts in your article. I am currently doing a course in writing and feeling very determined – long may it continue!
Sometimes we think we will write a certain piece 'one day' and yet…we never do, and the idea slowly ebbs away. I believe in a bit of brewing – as long as I remember to actually make a cup of tea! (I'm British, so I had to mention tea 🙂 )
