evolution as a way to appreciate life
Whether we are writing a novel or a letter to our bank manager, we have the eerie sensation that we are not so much writing as being written, that language in its insidious way is using us as a medium of expression and not vice versa.
This is from "Writing for a living: a joy or a chore?"
