“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
Ernest Hemmingway

“The marketing geniuses on the corporate side of the country music labels had decided to start using focus groups to test their products before they were developed or released. An example of this would be to ask the focus group whether they liked sad songs or happy songs. ā€œWe like happy songs!ā€ the focus group would chirp, and the word would go back to the writers and producers to come up with ā€œhappyā€ songs to record. This made it especially hard on the songwriters, who rarely feel a need to write when they are happy, as then they are busy luxuriating in the pleasure of happiness. When something bad happens, they want to find a way to transcend it, so they write a song about it. When Hank Williams, one of the greatest and most successful country artists of all time, wrote a song like ā€œYour Cheatin’ Heartā€ or ā€œI’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,ā€ he wasn’t writing ā€œhappyā€ songs, yet they made the listener feel better. The listener could feel that someone else had gone through an experience similar to the listener’s own, and then went to the trouble and effort to write it down accurately and share the experience like a compassionate friend might do. In this way, hearing a song like ā€œI’m So Lonesome I Could Cryā€ could make the listener feel better, or ā€œhappy.”
Linda Ronstadt, Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir

Ernest Hemingway
“There is nothing to writing.

All you do is sit down a a typewriter and bleed.
E. Hemmingway


We don't write to be understood, we write to understand.........

Love yourself. Dare to dream. Live on purpose!”

“A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition.”
