A reminder for those of us in the #writinglife.
“Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it’s because it is hard.”

This morning I discussed the demolition of the East Wing and why it matters.
Its rubble remains are a monument to the destruction of our system of checks and balances, and America's democratic system of government.
