Greetings, readers. Welcome to my newest inspiration: Wednesday Words. Actually, I hope they’ll be words you find helpful, encouraging, even life-changing on any day of the week. The quotes, poems, and other pieces of inspiring work have touched me, helped me, continue to work their magic on me. I hope they do the same for you.
Today we hear from E. B. White, author of Charlotte’s Web and lots of other works. I keep this quote on the wall above my computer monitor.
E. B. White’s wisdom
This is directed to writers. Do you think it could be useful to others, too?
“A writer has the duty to be good, not lousy; true, not false; lively not dull; accurate, not full of error. He should tend to lift people up, not lower them down. Writers do not merely reflect and interpret life; they inform and shape life.”
~ E.B. White, The Paris Review Interviews, IV

What a great idea, Charlene! I’ll look forward to Wednesdays from now on. And I love the quote. Yes, I can definitely think of others who should heed that advice!
