Hallelujah! Two blogs in two days. This calls for celebration. Maybe I will sit down and write. More likely, since it is late (after midnight and, therefore, technically not blogging two days in a row, but it is only a few minutes into the new day so "what the hey") I will have a glass of wine, stare at the screen and hope for a few words, a phrase, a sentence, perhaps even a paragraph. If I accomplish the last it will be a good evening. However, a sentence is a victory also.

A writer cannot pooh-pooh only getting a sentence constructed, especially if it is a good sentence. That's what Hemingway believed. As you may have read in my short paragraph about Willa Cather on my favorite authors page, Hem said he was only trying to write a perfect sentence. That line is in the Cather section because I believe she wrote more of them than anyone else I have come across.

If you get the chance read through my list of writers. I would love to receive some comments about and challenges to my list, and I would like to hear about other people's favorites. As we know, no one is loved by everybody, nor hated by everyone. As Abraham Lincoln said, "...you can't please all of the people all of the time." I know I certainly can't.

I do hope, however, that everyone is having a great weekend.
