"The specific challenge is to get it done. And to get it done as powerfully and as beautifully as you can. And to split the atom every time you write a sentence. That's all. No big deal. Just split the atom once. And then do it again and again. And then find a good title. And hope that someone gets blown away." (artist)

Imagine Yourself as an Artist
"I've adjusted my thinking to imagine myself as an artist. I don't know why that made such a huge difference, but it did. An artist in a studio, working. Not the author of the book in the store, but the person in her house, pursuing a thought or character or image and trying to wring something meaningful from it."
