“You listen for the right word, in the present, and you hear it. Once you’re into a story everything seems to apply—what you overhear on a city bus is exactly what your character would say on the page you’re writing.” —Eudora Welty
Eudora Welty
said exactly what I do.
She’s a favorite.
I love her work too!
I read her first in High School…”Why I Live at the P. O.”
Time to reread it!
Agreed! She is a marvel.
