passage written by Cather on separate enclosure. | written text |
I am afraid I must take my stand beside Miss Gale5 and say that I don't know any way to write a story except to write it. That is, I don't think anybody has any business to write a story at all until the story "possesses" them - I think you said that was Miss Gale's word. And to my simple mind it seems that the habit of being possessed by stories is the main qualification of a story writer.
The generalizations you sent me are entirely over my head. To me, stories are concrete, simple and personal. The moment I try to analyze one, I kill it.
