Editor’s Note:  Hummingbird is pleased to present  a collection of quotes curated by Lynda Bernard.  Each week a new quote will be added; there will be no commentary with it, rather the quote will stand alone as food for thought.  Some will be famous, others more obscure.  They might be ripped out of today’s headlines, or possibly sage words from writers we have known over time.

“There is nothing to writing.

All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
