Writing
  Thought
for the Writer's Day: Have No Fear
Betsy Lerner's book The
Forest for the Trees: An Editor's Advice to Writers
has some wonderful passages:
"The more popular culture and the media fail to
present the real pathos of our human struggle,"
Lerner writes, "the more opportunity there is for
writers who are unafraid to present stories that speak
emotional truth, or that make such an intimate connection
that briefly we become children again, listening with
rapt attention, the satin binding of our blankets pulled
up to our chins."
