A prayer to St. Jerome (the patron saint of writers)
the will to set aside the time,
the space in which to do so,
the discipline to carry on,
the powers of observation to record,
the imagination to convert,
the inspiration to move,
the skill to put on paper,
the objectivity to edit,
the confidence to deliver,
the appreciation of success,
the tolerance of failure,
the wisdom to recognise
when to start and when to stop.
Aideen Foley
Well done, Dumfries Writers – what a clever idea, an origami literary magazine. I shall look forward to reading it.
