at is a Writ
What is a writer? Scanning some •
writers' magazines, I found a few
suggestions.
For one thing, a writer is a person who
should 'be read, not seen or heard.
A writer ts,a painter, who u ses a pen
instead of fi brush and words instead of
oils, Her purpose is to communicate to her
readers what she sees, feels and thinks,
and she enjoys putting her thoughts on
paper.
•Th us a person who hates writing letters
will probably never become a professional
writer,
A writer is a person (with an active,
imaginative mind, that is constantly
searching for new topics and for novel ways
. to use her rejection slips. She also requires
a psychological resiliency to bounce back
from those rejections.
She can paper her walls with the notes or
she can learn from the editors' comments,
such as ,"materialtoo slight" or "out of our
age bracket". She is usually encouraged by
the suggestion to "try us again."
In a recent issue of Canadian Author and
Bookman, Betty Funke recalls two of her
manuscripts were returned with this note
attached: "You'll get there, but ,,not with
these."
A writer is often a victim of an ailment
known as "Writer's Block," which
Kenneth Walter describes this way:
"I'm floating in the moon,
slamming at a dam
of truth and sadness.
My heart is a wall, holding feeling'in.
My throat is a stone
words won't flush out
Need a backslap,
Or. incision."
A writer is a person who must make a
4
firm conunittment to ...her chosen
profession. An eittellent example is Ruth
Echeles' "Resolution - Day Qne". .
"Dawn's first light:
Rise and write,
Brain is dead.
Back to bed."
On a more serious note, Loring Kandel
suggests "A writer is a person with The ,
:Secret ; some of it he tells, some of it he
. sells, some of it he saves to keep himself
warm." . • •
Perhaps the most appropriate •
description of a writer, though, is Jay
Myer's scientific. definition.
Chemical Symbol: S.A.S, A

Vontact with the postman; prdne to manic
depressive fits with every rejection letter,
but produces adrenalin when a pay cheque
is received and' changes colour to 'bright
red from shock.

"If other prices had stayed the
same as they were in September
1975, and only food at home had
made its change of - 2%, the
Consumer Price Index would haVe
dropped about 0.5% . Instead, it
increased 6.5%" said Mr. Hill.
"Too much has been said lately
about the supposed costs of
supply management , and
marketing boards. These figures
show clearly that food prices have
not ,been increasing'at an
alarming 'rate and incl4ed have
not been , increasing at all.
Marketing boards are not villains
and they may even be' heroes"
