Read, read, read. Read everything–trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out the window.
Faulkner and Twain would make for a lively discussion!
I would certainly like to be around to hear that.
A favorite author. E
He was a great one.
I love this! So true.
I’m glad you liked it.
Throw it out and try again.

Great quote!
And from a great writer.
YES!!
My father-in-law was a Faulkner scholar. An amazing man behind the words.
He created a world, a body of work, one can easily get lost in.
Yes, he did…and I do 🙂
