Thomas Lynch Quote: Why I Write


Thomas Lynch, an award winning author and former funeral director, sparked a quote about why he writes that’s also true for me.
“I write because I read, and I just think it’s part of the same conversation. I’ve always thought writers are only readers who sort of go karaoke.” Quote from Cyndi Lieske. The Writer. Vol. 123, Issue 10.
The reason I wrote House of the Earth was that one day I searched my bookshelves, the public library and the bookstore and couldn't find the exact book I was hungry for, so I wrote one. You know how it goes, when you're hungry for extra sharp cheddar, even Brie won't do.

  1. You write because you have the gift of painting pictures with words.
