About This Quote
On the surface, it seems like a simple statement. A writer’s goal is to weave the ordinary into fine silk and the truly extraordinary into diaphanous clarity. However, those who have been around for a while know that those two things are not as easy as they may seem. In fact, it is quite rare to find someone who can do both.
In most cases, weaving the ordinary into fine silk takes much more skill and craftsmanship than writing diaphanous clarity. And, creating something completely unique from the norm can be a daunting task.
