"It is not enough to love words, to even be gifted. You must learn your craft, take it seriously and study. You must be readers. I cannot imagine how anyone can claim she is a writer unless she is also a reader. It’s true now that I don’t have the time to read as much as I would like but I do know that having been a reader all through my life has taught me more in some ways than any writing class I might have taken. Words are things. Words have power. Words are to the author what paint is to the artist, clay to the potter, notes to the musician. Words are our medium." ~Joyce Magnin, "The Power of Words"
