Strings: Art and Writing



Good Reading: "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg. She has lots of good advice for writers and most of it can be applied to visual art as well.



I recently read an article about a writer named Carolyn Turgeon. I haven't read any of her books, but in the article she summed up what I love most about writing and making art and compared it to one of my favorite books. "What I love," she says, "is absolute devastation mixed with absolute gorgeousness--like in Gabriel Marquez's 'One Hundred Years of Solitude."
