"So much of writing is sitting down and doing it every day, and so much of it is about getting into the custom of taking in everything that comes along, seeing it all as grist for the mill. This can be a very comforting habit, like biting your nails. Instead of being scared all the time, you detach. Watch what goes on, and consider it creatively...You take in all you can, as a child would without the atmospheric smog of most grown-up vision..." Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
