Like the mason builds a cathedral one stone at a time, so too the writer builds a book one word at a time. Admittedly, this thought is not original (read Anne Lamott’s classic manual Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life) but it encourages the novelist to aim for a magnificent literary edifice. For more thoughts on the art and craft of writing, see REFLECTIONS.
