Good writing is always new.

About This Quote

Good writing is always new. People are constantly trying to understand how to write better. Many have tried to master the art of writing, but it remains elusive. Some say that good writing is about being honest, while others claim that it’s about being clever.

Another group says that good writing has to do with content, while still others say that subtlety is key. What all these have in common is that they seek to capture the essence of good writing. Good writing is always new because the moment you try to describe something, it becomes old.

You can never capture something that’s already been done before.
