To audreyhepburn on Finding Writing Advice by m n m n I

Writing is art as experience
Reading complements writing
Devour every knowledge you can under the sun
Philosophy Mythology Science Art Architecture Religion Politics 
Milton Shakespeare Whitman Hemingway Faulkner etc etc etc
Everything is given
He has given everything
Push the horizon
And your writing will be pushed
Robert Henri, American artist
(Now what's that got to do about writing?)
wrote, in effect
"Education is a matter of asking questions
and finding the right answers
You read a book
It doesn't matter if you like it or not
If it makes you think
then you have learned"
Writing is in you
Experience the art . . .
