"Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom;
yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."
Doctrine and Covenants 88:118

"And the gatherer sought to find pleasing words, worthy writings, words of Truth."
Ecclesiastes 12:10

Writing While "in the Groove"

"I enjoy writing only when I know its just right, when it flows, when I have a decent idea (which seldom happens in my case, because very little seems to suit my rather special approach), when the thing 'writes itself,' as they say.  At such times I enjoy writing perhaps more than anything else.  When it doesn't flow, or when I feel it isn't exactly right - that is, when it doesn't precisely fit my poetics - then not only do I not enjoy writing, it actually repels me."
