Quote: Jules Renard on Writing and Being Interrupted

Jules Renard, a.k.a Pierre-Jules Renard, was a French writer best known for Poil de Carotte, later published as Carrots in English, an ironic account of his childhood where “grim humour conceals acute sensibility.”

On writing, he says:

Writing is the best way to talk

without being interrupted

And in French, it reads:

Ecrire, c’est une façon de parler sans être interrompu

This is true.  Unless of course, one of your characters comes alive and has something to say. That would be a major interruption, wouldn’t it?

Let’s hope that never happens.

Have a great weekend!
