I came across a quote today that seems to capture the honesty and vulnerability of writing. A helpful reminder as I begin shaping the next book.
” There are few activities more cooperative than the writing of history. The author puts his name brashly on the title-page and the reviewers rightly attack him for his errors and misinterpretations; but none knows better than he how much his whole enterprise depends on the proceeding labours of others”.
Christopher Hill.
