Hello Members, Participants and contributors,
I recently finished reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintanence and one idea has stuck with me. The narrator is talking about Quality, yes, with a capital Q, and says to be a good artist, a good writer, a good mechanic, you need to be a good person. The best of any calling is not because these people studied theĀ art form, but because they were perfect and perfection is what results from being a perfect person.
Now, I have also read the collected Letters of Vincent Van Gogh, so I’m not sure if this thesis would hold up to closer scrutiny, but I do like the idea that by striving to be a better person, my writing will improve.
I hope your writing is going well and you are finding much success.
The June calendar is posted. Come on a Monday and share your work!
Thanks,
Diane
