Novelist Geoff Dyer talks about the craft in The Guardian. “Writers are defined, in large measure, by what they can’t do. The mass of things that lie beyond their abilities force them to concentrate on the things they can,” he says. You can’t practice through your weaknesses like a tennis player, but neither is your work as defined as tennis is. One thing’s for certain: “it’s far easier to give advice about writing than it is to do it.” (via Andy Crouch and Alan Jacobs)
