But I have to give myself time to cultivate the skills necessary. It takes a lot of watering for plants to grow. And the soil has to be ready.Lindsay Harrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379628592162011068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-63669050298134976832012-02-22T11:58:41.324-05:002012-02-22T11:58:41.324-05:00Hmm.

LOL. <br /><br />BTW, love this post, and everytime I read it, it reminds me of this quote (from one of my all time FAVE books):<br /><br />“All my life and all my experience, the events that have befallen me, the people I have known, all my memories, dreams, fantasies, everything I have ever read, all of that has been chucked onto the compost heap, where over time it has rotted down to a dark, rich, organic mulch. The process of cellular breakdown makes it unrecognizable. Other people call it the imagination. I think of it as a compost heap. Every so often I take an idea, plant it in the compost, and wait. It feeds on the black stuff that used to be a life, takes its energy for its own. It germinates,. Takes root. Produces shoots. And so on and so forth, until one fine day I have a story, or a novel....Readers are fools. They believe all writing is autobiographical. And so it is, but not in the way they think. The writer's life needs time to rot away before it can be used to nourish a work of fiction. It must be allowed to decay.” <br />― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth TaleAnita Grace Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797870961916148616noreply@blogger.com
