From Susan Orlean

Wordly Inspiration from Susan Orlean, whose words jolted me - why is it that I have to remind myself so often of this, and struggle to accept that as sufficient reason??

"You have to simply love writing, and you have to remind yourself often that you love it."

"You have to appreciate the spiritual component of having an opportunity to do something as wondrous as writing. You should be practical and smart and... you should work really, really hard. But you should also be filled with awe and gratitude about this amazing way to be in the world."

From Stephen King

Wordly Inspiration from Stephen King, reminding me that I look forward to more sleeping and more (well, any at all) writing soon. Well, really I look forward to unlocking my mind from the humdrum that has been dealing with 2022.

"In both writing and sleeping, we learn to be physically still at the same time we are encouraging our minds to unlock from the humdrum rational thinking of our daytime lives."
