Chanced upon this quotable quote while surfing the net in the name of work. It's indeed balm for the copywriter's soul (or anyone who does a lot of writing on a daily basis)...especially one who recently had to call in the CSI team to investigate the case of her missing brain.
"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 as a consolation in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it's because it is hard. It's one of the hardest things that people do." - William Zinsser
Like what it advised, I will certainly remember this as a consolation in moments of despair...before I tear out my hair, chew off my fingers or anything similarly drastic like that.
