Writers on Writing: Nabokov

Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov (Lolita) said:

The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible.

That's fascinating to me as a writer. It's also fascinating to me as a Christ-follower. We are created in the image of God, but sin has marred and hidden that DNA. There are God-ordained passions, dreams, and gifts written on our hearts that are clamoring to become visible. We need the Holy Spirit to spring them to life.
