"Writing, rewriting, more writing... It really should be no trouble, according to the late Canadian novelist Stephen Leacock: 'You just jot down ideas as they occur to you. The jotting is simplicity itself--it is the occurring which is difficult.' Well, who could argue with that?
American satirist Peter De Vries claimed to be troubled by a different aspect of writing: 'I love being a writer. What I can't stand is the paperwork!' This lighthearted remark is amusing only to the extent that one isn't actually bogged down in real paperwork."

If it's not obvious, I rather enjoy Calvin and Hobbes. And I must say, it's not the writing--it's the paperwork! Oh, how I relate to that.

I do hope yours is going well.
