Hmm ...

... BBC News - Today - Can great writing be taught? (Hat tip, Paul Davis.)

I don't think great writing can be taught. In fact, I think only the mechanics of writing can be. This question is the subject of the latest Symposium in Boulevard, to which I made a contribution.

    I like the Hemingway qoute:

    There is nothing to writing," explained that master of minimalist prose, Ernest Hemingway. "All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
