“Somebody asked Willie Nelson where he got his songs, and he said, ‘The air’s full of melodies, you just reach out…’ The world’s full of stories, you just reach out.”

~ Ursula Le Guin, Steering The Craft

Ursula Le Guin’s, Steering The Craft, a book on writing subtitled “Exercises and Discussions on Story Writing for the Lone Navigator or the Mutinous Crew” is Absolutely My Favourite Work on the art, and craft, and bloodstained toil, and sheer joy of writing.

I aim to bring you a few quotes from it over the next few weeks. 🙂
