Reading Around: “No Such Thing As Writer’s Block”

Hat tip to Kathy Schiffer for a link to this post by Arleen Spenceley, “Being Catholic Isn’t An Excuse for Crap Writing: Lessons from a Journalist”.  A couple excerpts that caught my eye:

If you’re gonna write, you’ve got to read. And you’ve got to read good writing. ”

Your senses are your friends. Whether what you write reads well might depend on whether you use them. “

Read the whole thing here.  Then click over to another post linked by host Edmund Mitchell, “New Evangelization Must be Cheese“.  Quote that caught my eye:

The methods and modes we use to evangelize should be crafted and perfected – the object of a loving art.  The way we speak, write, and advertise should all be approached with a awed humility.  We are announcing the Most High, we should remember that we share this task with angels.

I also enjoyed the Chesterton Memes.

How about you?  Read any good Catholic writers lately?
