jealous artist typewriters
I have always been jealous of artists. The smell of the studio, the names of the various tools, the look of a half-finished canvas all shout of creation. What do writers have in comparison?

The impact of the painting is immediate, the manuscript must unfold slowly through time. Jane Yolen
