A sentence has wishes as they decide. —GERTRUDE STEIN This past week was a good one: my book, The Art of Brevity, officially came into the world (and hopefully many bookshelves), and I was treated to a party for it by Pegasus Books in Berkeley (photo below). I loved talking about it with people and hearing their questions, which often touched on subjects I hadn’t thought much about.
‘The acoustics of a sentence play into a paragraph, into the white spaces on the page, into the air itself.’ This is inspiration to write with clarity. Thank you for the visual, Grant!
I like the more serious face in your 2/21 invitation. I know, such a random thought... Loved today's piece and I'm buying the book today, now more excited about it.
My only thought is that if you are serious, you can't look mean. Lighten your eyes and smile with your eyes is what I try to do...yours might look a little dour, but just my two cents, and by two cents I literally mean two pennies.
