"Rick Bass, one of our finest stylists, says that fiction writers — like masons — require both power and precision to construct a good story. “You’ve got to lay the stones one on top of the other so they fit together, but you’ve got to have the strength to lug them around.”"
I'm not sure how much I can learn from this one. Power and precision? I probably need someone to elaborate for me. This sounds a bit like "If you want to get good grades, you'll have to study hard." The problem is we all know we should study hard, but how? By studying all day and all night?
I guess this is a general principle for us to search ourself.
