About this Quote

This quote by Lillian Hellman suggests that writing is a frequently advancing process, as well as it might not constantly go the means one strategies. Even if you have a clear image of what you want to write, the end product may not meet your initial expectations. Hellman suggests that great writing is an outcome of constant refining, changing, as well as editing and enhancing. Composing requires determination, perseverance, as well as the readiness to make changes based on feedback and criticism. The quote mirrors the idea that the process of writing is usually more vital than the end item itself. To be an excellent writer, you need to want to see your job in a different way, pick up from your errors, and persevere despite obstacles.
