Another Quote from Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
Because for some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth.

Ideas and there partner emotions are so powerful. Those who can write are able to capture that power!
Oops, I misspelled "their." I would get an "f" in Sophomore English for that!
Here in the real world these minor mistakes matter not at all but can be endearing.
"Ideas and their partner emotions" That's something I'll ponder.
Thanks
