Today’s Writing
“Sheep is the gentlest things. And they can walk a fence better than any goat.”
“It is much better to write small things than big ones: they are unpretentious and successful.” – Chekhov
Anton tells me to keep it simple. And I feel stupid every time I read his letter to Moscow literary critique Madame M.V. Kiselyov. In it he says he has written a play (Swan Song) in one hour and five minutes – it will take fifteen to twenty minutes to act.
