Writing
‘The tools I need for my work are paper, tobacco, food and a little whiskey’ William Faulkner
‘Writing is easy; all you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until the drops of blood form on your forehead’ Lillian Hellman
'There's nothing as good as a handwritten note,
As everyone calls to find out what I wrote.' Anon
