| 717dcd5 | I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better. This tender relationship can change in a twinkling. If you skip a visit or two, a work in progress will turn on you. | the-literary-process the-writing-life the-writing-process write writer writing | Annie Dillard |
