Scaffolding For Writers

“How we spend our days is how we spend our lives… A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. “

—Annie Dillard, The Writing Life

Master and Submissive

“One cannot be too scrupulous, too sincere, too submissive before nature… But one ought to be more or less master of one’s model.” 

–Cezanne
