“And then, sometimes, when I least expect it, there are the rare, exquisite, ecstatic experiences of writing, when the story bursts out, and I struggle to type as fast as I need to, afraid the sentences are going to fly out of my grasp.” – Nina LaCour
Imagine writing every day for years to experience this (the moment mentioned in the quote above) only once or twice a year. Ok, ok, maybe that’s a little dramatic, but that’s really how it feels sometimes. Writing adds to my life, yes, but that doesn’t take away from the hard work it takes to be a writer. But that quote, that description of the feverish, inspired sessions feels good. They really do. But there’s more to writing than that. It’s bigger than feverish productivity. And most days it feels bigger than me.
