Language is a Playground


Language is a playground. When not serving some utilitarian purpose, letters and words flirt and frisk and frolic; sometimes, without supervision, they build spectacular sand castles. As a would-be writer, the most inspiring—and, paradoxically, useful—thing to happen to me was finding others who believed in rolling up their sleeves and playing in the sand.
