A bon mot double whammy

"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."

Ernest Hemingway


"Writing is much like conversation: first you dig yourself a hole, then you dig yourself out of it."

Froog

(Both for what it says about writing and for what it says about conversation. My own conversations probably have just about this proportion of assertion and retraction.)
