A Writer's Advice: Be a Sponge


"In short, my advice to beginning writers, would-be writers, and even writers who are doing less than they feel they should be doing is the same, be a sponge. First you are a sponge. You have to soak up the world. When it comes time, wring yourself out on paper. But, you can't wring out a dry sponge. It has to soak 'it' up before it can release 'it.' It being everything, anything, all things worth the writer's and the reader's time." --Roger Caras


So, what will you be soaking up this weekend that might wring itself out on paper down the road? Hope whatever it is, your sponge becomes saturated with lots of great material! Have a good one...
