Michael Wade on writing

A salutary reminder on writing from Execupundit Michael Wade:

… a writer is a person who writes. Not someone who thinks about writing or dresses like a writer or talks about writing, but someone who actually writes.

Floppy hats, extravagant scarves and interesting boots aside, however,

Writing is more of a craft than a profession. You learn by doing.
