Observe
One can see much in nature, if only, one were careful enough to observe.
Nelson Algren
“I do have the feeling that other writers can’t help
you with writing. I’ve gone to writers’ conferences and writers’ sessions and
writers’ clinics, and the more I see of them, the more I’m sure it’s the wrong
direction. It isn’t the place where you learn to write. I’ve always felt
strongly that a writer shouldn’t be engaged with other writers, or with people
who make books, or even with people who read them. I think the farther away you
get from the literary traffic, the closer you are to sources. I mean, a writer
doesn’t really live, he observes.”
— Nelson Algren, The Art of Fiction
