every day we slaughter our finest impulses
Henry Miller once wrote: 'Immediately I heard my own voice I was enchanted: the fact that it was a separate, distinct, unique voice sustained me. It didn't matter to me if what I wrote should be considered bad. Good and bad dropped out of my vocabulary'.
Miller wrote a lot on the subject of writing, especially the art of going beyond clinical precision. He said of art critics: 'Their desire for perfection is so similar to that false religious attitude which desires only the good'.
Technique alone is never enough. You have to have passion.
Technique alone is just an embroidered potholder.
