The Writer's Life: Cool Quote, Great Photograph

                     The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.
                                                                              - Edwin Schlossberg


I found this quote tonight on Julie Lario's blog, Drift Record.  I just had to share it. This one sentence is what I try to teach my students to do in their essays and what I try to do in my poems, but I have never thought of it in just this way before. It's perfect.
