Andrea A. Lunsford...writing surrounds us: it's not something we do just in school or on the job but something that is as familiar and everyday as a pair of worn sneakers or the air we breathe.
About This Quote
Although every day is different, the air we breathe is so familiar that we have probably taken for granted that it always remains the same. The air we breathe is changing all the time. As the temperature changes, so do the qualities of this air. Because of this, writers are always surrounded by words.
They are surrounded by them in their homes, at their jobs, and while they're traveling. As writers, they must be prepared to face many new and difficult challenges.
