A Quiet Madness
22 March 2012
I came across a fairly well known quote the other day from George Orwell - and it reminded me of why we are what we are and do what we do.
"All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon which one can neither resist nor understand…"
But there are days when the words flow, and the pages appear like magic!
And there's your story.
Perhaps that makes up for the rest.
