“I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.”
~ Ernest Hemingway
If you are here by way of my other blog, I must warn you that this one will be nothing like that.
My writing is important to me. In the mix of kids, bills, job, pets, family and health, it can - and often has - gotten lost. This blog will be my little way of trying to remind myself to keep at it. I may post some original work here, but more likely it will be observations on the process or inspiring bits to keep us all going.
I chose the title from Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast," published posthumously in 1964. If you haven't read it, and you want to write well one day, you should. It's about his time in Paris in the 1920s, but it contains several truths about writing that have stuck with me from the moment I read them. It's a book that I think is helpful to writers, even if you aren't particularly fond of Hemingway's style.
Here's hoping I can keep myself in the deep part of the well.
