The Art of Craft

 I try to be immediate, to be totally present for all my work"

-Maya Angelou, Author

"My responsibility as a write is to be

as good as I can be at my craft

So I study my craft...learning the craft

understanding what language can do , 

gaining control of the language

enables one to make people weep, laugh 

or even make them go to war.

You can do this by learning how to harness the power of the word.

So studying my craft is one of my responsibilities.

The other one is to be as good a human being I can be.

So that once I have achieved the control of the language

I don't force my weaknesses on a public-

who might pick them and abuse themselves! "
