Happy Labor Day!

It turns out I have no Labor Day appropriate photos! 
I'm just about to leave town for a long (though not long enough) weekend, and because my head is still in the fictional realm of Fair Chance (oh, POOR Elliot...) I thought I would simply share a couple of my all-time favorite essays with no purpose in mind other than to share something I love--writers being witty on the subject of writing.

The first is by James Thurber and it's called "The MacBeth Murder Mystery". You can read it right here.

The second is Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) on the topic of James "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses," which you can read here.

Do you have any favorite witty essays on the subject of writing?

Wishing you all a happy weekend! Have fun and stay safe!
