Delany 187: "[T]he worst thing that can happen to a writer is that she or he gets to a point where she or he believes [...] that he or she now knows how to write [...] [I]t's far closer to the truth to say that we must learn to write all over again with every sentence we begin--and that which teaches us anew is the structure, the content, and the form of what we are writing about. Paying minute attention to that alone is what can sometimes produce good writing."
