Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
- #JosephHeller, ' #Catch-22'
"It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice.

"Every writer I know has trouble writing." --Attributed toJoseph Heller (1923-1999) No source can be found #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #josephheller Joseph Heller’s (?) observation, “Every writer I know has trouble writing”, hits home for almost anyone who's ever stared at a blank page. It doesn’t matter if you're a bestselling novelist or just scribbling your first draft: writing is hard. Inspiration falters, confidence wavers, and doubt creeps in; every writer battles those invisible opponents. That’s exactly why the quote resonates so widely. It reminds us that struggle isn’t a sign of failure, it’s part of the process. Even the greats wrestled with sentences, pacing, and voice. Writing well doesn’t come easy, or only to the naturally gifted; it comes to those who show up, even when it hurts.

On This Day: May 1
In 1923, Joseph Heller was born. His novel Catch-22 coined a phrase and captured a paradox. The book remains a biting satire of bureaucracy and war.
Here's a picture of him from the year I was born.
