“In general, I feel, or I have come to feel, that the richest writing comes not from the people who dedicate themselves to writing alone. I know this is contradicted again and again but I continue to feel it. They don't, of course, write as much, or as fast, but I think it is riper and more satisfying when it does come.

We put a time pressure and a mass pressure on creative work which are meaningless and infantile in that field.” PeopleThinkingKnowsFeelsWritingKindDoeSeemsAmericaCoursesResultsCreativeFieldsMaterialsMassDifficultyStressPressureProductionsSatisfyingMeaninglessAgain And AgainCreative WorkInfantileDifficulty Of Writing Author:Anne Morrow Lindbergh
