BEGINNINGS of Great Writers.

Very few writer's, even those who
have genius, have anything to say
when they begin to write. At first
they write for the love of writing, and
only when they are fatally committed
to the trade do they discover whether
or not they have anything to say. That
is the great risk of all arts. You must
learn to paint before you can be sure
that you can paint. You must learn
to write before you can be sure that
you can write.
