The above Plimpton-Hemingway exchange is one of my favorites. It captures the essence of the writer's struggle.
I come back to this core of purpose time and again. The goal is always to get the words as close to "right" as we can.
And this reminds me of a line from "Wrist Wrestling Father," a poem by Orval Lund:
In distilling my purpose as a writing teacher, I come down to this: I want students to push toward the satisfaction of finding right words, yet to live in peace with that goal's elusiveness.
