The Shipshape Miracle and Other Stories Quotes

“In the novel All Flesh Is Grass, one of Cliff’s characters, Nancy, who was a writer herself, would say of that profession: “It’s a thing you don’t talk about—not until you’re well along with it. There are so many things that can go wrong with writing. I don’t want to be one of those pseudo-literary people who are always writing something they never finish, or talking about writing something that they never start.”
― David W. Wixon, The Shipshape Miracle and Other Stories: The Complete Short Fiction of Clifford D. Simak, Volume 10
