Walt Whitman

[monk222]

“The secret of it all, is to write in the gush, the throb, the flood, of the moment – to put things down without deliberation – without worrying about their style – without waiting for a fit time or place. I always worked that way. I took the first scrap of paper, the first doorstep, the first desk, and wrote – wrote, wrote. By writing at the instant the very heartbeat of life is caught.”

-- Walt Whitman

Well, I doubt that such writing would make for a good novel, but it may serve for a good diary, or maybe for blog posts.
