communication writing together
You do have all five sense when you're in a room together. You communicate and understand each other in a much deeper way. It is a different form of communication from writing or being on the web.
writing justice people
As an activist, you do find yourself directed more toward public action. But I've always tried to use stories from my own life in my writing for instance. It has always been clear to me that the stories of each other's lives are our best textbooks. Every social justice movement that I know of has come out of people sitting in small groups, telling their life stories, and discovering that other people have shared similar experiences. So, if we've shared many experiences, then it probably has something to do with power or politics, and if we unify and act together, then we can make a change.
writing fighting worry
I continued for too long to do things that I already knew how to do, or to write stories that I was assigned instead of fighting for stories that I couldn't get, or doing ones that I thought were important on my own. The wasting of time is the thing I worry about the most. Because time is all there is.
writing talking harder
Writing is always harder than talking.
morning writing insecure
As a profession, freelance writing is notoriously insecure. That's the first argument in its favor. For many reasons, a few of them rational, the thought of knowing exactly what next year's accomplishments, routine, income, and vacation will be - or even what time I have to get up tomorrow morning - has always depressed me.
writing written
I don't like writing. I like having written.
writing needs terrible
I began to understand with a terrible sureness that we teach what we need to learn and write what we need to know.
writing people forever
Most writers write to say something about other people - and it doesn't last. Good writers write to find out about themselves - and it lasts forever.
writing creative-writing written
I do not like to write - I like to have written.
believe writing
Writing keeps me from believing everything I read.
writing issues people
I would write about issues and people I met along the way, but not about the process and the life of being on the road.
writing pride accomplishment
For me, writing is the only thing that passes the three tests of metier: (1) when I'm doing it, I don't feel that I should be doing something else instead: (2) it produces a sense of accomplishment and, nce in a while, pride; and (3) it's frightening.
writing should feels
Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.
compete favours men spent women
Do women compete for the favours of men? Yes. They've spent 5,000 years competing.
