About This Quote

A good book isn't written, it's rewritten. This quote is a little bit confusing because there are a few different ways you can interpret it. You can say that a good book is written well or written well, but the author has been rewriting it from the beginning. You can also say that a book is written well and it has been rewritten, but by who? In every case, the idea is the same: good writing takes a lot of time and effort.
