thought of the week/мысль недели

[mstislavl]

Sit down and put down everything that comes into your head and then
you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth,
without pity, and destroy most of it.


-Colette, writer (1873-1954)

если ты сядешь (за стол) и запишешь все, что придет тебе в голову, станешь писателем.
но автoром имеет право
называться только тот, кто способен безжалостно
оценить качество собственного произведения и уничтожить большую часть написанного.

Колет, писатель

"my comments may sound rude sometimes but it's a matter of style and not of personal hostility toward anybody" - hmm...maybe I should have read your blurb first and then accepted you with a pinch of salt - I have to apologise, I should have not judged the book by its cover, as they say
