Coastal Town 🍋🌊 #art
A digital illustration of a scene inspired by Italian coastal towns. The painting shows a woman buying fruits from a fruit stand. We see a corgi beside her and three cats. One cat is resting on a wooden crate while the other two are sleeping under a shade. We see baskets of fruits and flowers in the foreground.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.
