  • Vast volumes of mixed media surround us, from music to games and videos. Yet almost all of our online actions still begin and end with writing: text messages, status updates, typed search queries, comments and responses, screens packed with verbal exchanges and, underpinning it all, countless billions of words. -- Tom Chatfield

  • When you're writing a novel, you spend four years sitting in your basement and a year waiting for the book to come out and then you get the feedback.
