Whisper Write

"What I like in a good author is not what he says, but what he whispers."
- Logan Pearsall Smith (Afterthoughts)
Reading is like listening to your father. When he talks, you listen. When he shouts, you miss most of what he says. When he preaches, you think of your plans for later that night and, when he whispers, you never miss a word. Writers must use every voice if their whispers are to scream.
