Ursula Le Guin's writing advice

This is an excellent read, and really sparked some intrigue as how to go about my own research and writing. Out of the entire article, this is my favorite quote that I think some writers, myself included, tend to forget when we get into the hard parts of writing, whether it's just starting, having a block in the middle, or stuck with finding (or choosing) and ending:

"Live with words, play with them, work with them, till they begin to do what you want them to do. You probably don’t really need any more words than you have. You just need to learn how to let them speak in your true voice. It will take a while. And there is ALWAYS more to learn."

Thank you for sharing this!
