“Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.”
-Mark Twain
One of America’s greatest writers, Mark Twain, once said that writing is easy, all you have to do is cross out the wrong words. This quote reflects the way that I see writing and how it relates to me as a writer. It means that writing is not the hardest thing to do, I see that the only requirement I need to make it “easy” is to revise and edit. When I do this, I learn my mistakes and I correct them. At the same time doing so, I gain more experience as a writer and that is how this quote relates to me, because the quote means that I need to edit my work and the more I edit, the more I gain knowledge in writing.
