Random quote of the day:

 

“When the writing is really working, I think there is something like dreaming going on. I don’t know how to draw the line between the conscious management of what you’re doing and this state. It usually takes place in the earlier stages, in the drafting process. I would say that it’s related to daydreaming. When I feel really engaged with a passage, I become so lost in it that I’m unaware of my real surroundings, totally involved in the pictures and sounds that that passage evokes.”

—John Hersey, The Paris Review, Summer-Fall 1986, No. 100
