Writing

I wasn’t looking for it, but I found a really interesting interview with Shelby Foote, the writer. Apart from being an excellent example of how to conduct an interview (ask your first question then let the person talk), it contains a wealth of wisdom about and around writing. It’s less than half an hour in length but, if even that is too much, you should listen at least to what the man has to say about learning to write. He begins this at 12:26. Of course, I believe what he says is both wise and true because that’s what I think too, but can you afford to disregard it for that reason?

Have a listen. I doubt you’ll regret it.
