“Nobody ever became a writer
just by wanting to be one. If you have anything to say, anything you feel
nobody has ever said before, you have got to feel it so desperately that you
will find some way to say it that nobody has ever found before, so that the
thing you have to say and the way of saying it blend as one matter—as
indissolubly as if they were conceived together.”— F. Scott Fitzgerald, in a letter to his daughter Scottie (1936)
