This month’s notable quote is a favorite excerpt from Several Short Sentences About Writing:
What if allowing us to see what’s accurate and true is among the best work writing can do? Saying the obvious thing briefly and clearly and Observing the critical detail are hard enough. It’s surprising how often ideas that seem obvious to you Are in no way apparent to the reader. And vice versa. - Veryln Klinkenborg
Yes to the process of writing illuminating the truth in ways that we might not have otherwise understood it.
Also: the word briefly. And clearly.
I aspire to these things in my own writing.
Newsletters do not need to be lengthy to be valuable.
I’d love to read your reflections in the comments.
Take care,
Camille
