From The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, by F. Scott Fitzgerald:

The Montana sunset lay between two mountains like a gigantic bruise from which dark arteries spread themselves over a poisoned sky."

   The experts say aspiring authors like me should have a blog, so here begins mine.


   I'm reading a fascinating book right now, "The Price was High", a posthumous collection of stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. As editor Matthew Bruccoli points out (over & over & over), these aren't his best, but nobody writes better sentences than Scott, and that makes for 700+ pages of great reading.


   More soon!
