William Zinsser Quotes
Go To Your Desk On Monday Morning And Write About Some Event That's Still Vivid In Your Memory. It Doesn't Have To Be Long - Three Pages, Five Pages - But It Should Have A Beginning And An End. Put That Episode In A Folder And Get On With Your Life. On Tuesday Morning, Do The Same Thing. Tuesday's Episode Doesn't Have To Be Related To Monday's Episode. Take Whatever Memory Comes Calling; Your Subconscious Mind, Having Been Put To Work, Will Start Delivering Your Past. Keep This Up For Two Months, Or Three Months, Or Six Months. Don't Be Impatient To Start Writing Your "memoir" - The One You Had In Mind Before You Began. Then, One Day, Take All Your Entries Out Of Their Folder And Spread Them On The Floor. (The Floor Is Often A Writer's Best Friend.) Read Them Through And See What They Tell You And What Patterns Emerge. They Will Tell You What Your Memoir Is About - And What It's Not About.
