Hilaire BellocWrite as the wind blows and command all words like an army!
About This Quote
Write as the wind blows and command all words like an army! is a very powerful image. Think of a time when you wrote a story or a song or a poem. Was it easy? Did you know exactly what words you wanted to use at all times? Or was it rather hard? When we write, we have options. We may think of several different ways to say something, but in the end we must choose one that works best for us or our audience.
