Linda Holmes of NPR, one of my favorite writers, had this pair of tweets tonight:
“@nprmonkeysee: Dear everyone who gets tired of Meryl Streep winning Oscars: Sooooorrryyyyyy. #augustosagecounty #TIFF13”
“@nprmonkeysee: I'm not even sure Streep gives my favorite performance in that movie. (Many contenders.) But she gives the biggest one. #TIFF13”
Very excited to start seeing unbiased opinions from writers I trust... hope more come down the road!
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
