Thought of the Day: “Writing”

"We could stretch our legs if we’d half a mind
But don’t disturb us if you hear us trying
To instigate the structure of another line or two
Cause writing’s lighting up
And I like life enough to see it through."

Elton John

(Thought of after guest speaking to my friend Victoria’s UCLA writing class. Thanks for having me everyone!)

  1. That was inspiring Kevin. Streching my fingers and my mind the way I do my legs everyday would help me to be a better, more disciplined writer. Actually getting my pen to the paper is a bit like exercise class- you hem and haw and then when you’re there, and afterwards, you love it. I was unable to attend the chat but was able to read it today. Thanks fo sharing. Kathleen
