“One of the gifts of being a writer is that it gives you an excuse to do things, to go places and explore.”

-Anne Lamott, Bird By Bird

I finally picked up a copy of Bird By Bird this week, a book that has been on my reading list for far too long. It’s exactly what I needed. A reminder of why I love to write, and a reminder of what it takes to be a writer: just.keep.writing.

And exploring of course.
