Just a short post today for a quick burst of inspiration. The late American artist Sam Fink published a gorgeous, illustrated version of Annie Dillard‘s advice to writers in a book called Give It All, Give It Now (Welcome Books, 2009). The quotations featured in the illustrations are from Annie Dillard’s The Writing Life (Harper Perennial, 1990). These beautiful pictures and words help inspire me when my usual arsenal of writing tricks and tips fails me.
