“…if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn’t try fiction…” Flannery O’Connor on what writers write about QUOTES FOR WRITERS

Fiction is about everything human and we are made out of dust, and if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn’t try fiction. It’s not a grand enough job for you.

If you want to use any of this material contact me and there is a very good chance I will say YES.
However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
