What I Learned Over Christmas Break

“You sit down at the same time every day.  You put a piece of paper in the typewriter, or you turn on your computer and bring up the right file, and then you stare at it for an hour or so. Then you begin rocking, just a little at first, and then like a huge autistic child….you squint at an image that  is forming in your mind—a scene, a locale, a character, whatever—and you try to quiet your mind so you can hear

what that landscape or character has to say above the other voices in your mind. The other voices are like banshees and drunken monkeys.”--Ann Lamott

     Struggling with today's piece, but writing nevertheless. Will post tomorrow. In the meantime--how amazing is this quote? I love Ann Lamott.
