On writing:
“The only thing I can say is that it takes place—or the best of it takes place—in a sort of vacuum. On the worst of mornings. On the least likely of mornings. When you expect nothing to happen. When the page is blank. When the mind is blank. Even in a state of depression or melancholia. And then, only with good luck …
Oh don’t misunderstand me. I think you have to be sitting there. You have to ‘wait’ in good faith. You have to to to work like anyone else, or I do any way. I have to go to work at nine o’clock. And in that sense you force it. You’ve got to start in some way … You have to have a routine and live up to it and then hope for the best.”
—Walker Percy
