Channeled Authors, tip # 1

Sat Jul 4, 2009, 11:56 AM
My dear,

Do not underestimate the value of a talented friend. Let them know how you respect and appreciate their work and their fortitude. And never hesitate to pass your own along to them for a look-over. There is a great chance that it will be better off for it.

And never forget what you are trying to accomplish through your words. Let it be your foundation and let it enlighten your every effort.


Thanks be to my Ezra, 'the better poet of us two.'

Sincerely yours,

T.S. Eliot
