Writers write alone. Even at the
local Starbucks, at some point it's you and the page. But no man, or woman, is

well-tended garden of varied flowers each cherished for its uniqueness and nurtured,
is worth the time it takes to maintain. Savor this meditation bymetaphysical poetJohn Donne:"No Man Is an Island" No man is an island entire of itself;
every man |
