George W. Kaufman
What’s the best thing(s) about being a writer?
Writing keeps my mind alert, opens me to new ways of thinking, and has a toughness and durability that helps during difficult times. Those benefits have been acquired over time. After more time passes, some of those qualities will deepen, others will play a smaller role, new ones will appear, and still others will disappear.
Writers are storytellers, chroniclers, interpreters, historians and observers of how we behave, how we think, and how we express what we see, hear, and feel. History is remembered through writers, the future is predicted by the imagination of writers, and our values are described through the interpretation of writers. I love being associated with those values and the opportunity to play with creativity.
