Today, I’m just contemplating these wise words:
The function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork (including writing) is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars. — David Bayles & Ted Orland, Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking

Katherine Paterson
Love that last one. Sweat before excellence – indeed. (Hugs)Indigo
