“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.”
― A.A. Milne #amanandhisdog #simplelife (at Batiquitos Lagoon)

Writing novels is quiet work: it can reveal astonishments but it doesn’t usually proceed from them. Maybe that is why novelists are so often attached to second art forms that wear their physicality or their beauty outwardly.

In a meditation on famous authors in love with other art formsAndrew O’Hagan seconds Ernest Hemingway’s reflection that “writing, at its best, is a lonely life.”

Also see Nabokov’s butterflies and Sylvia Plath’s drawings, then wash down with famous writers’ collected advice on the craft.

My best writing advice? Write something that people might not “enjoy” but will never forget. … Our tastes change with time, and something that persists has a chance of getting appreciated more in the future.

Chuck Palahniuk, adding to our ongoing archive of wisdom on writing. Pair with Gertrude Stein on understanding and enjoyment in writing. (via explore-blog)
