Pray for my writing life, please? Thank you. “Most anyone who has endeavored to maintain the habit of prayer, or making art, or regular exercise...knows the syndrome well. When I sit down to pray or write, a host of thoughts arise. I should call to find out how so-and-so is doing. I should dust and organize my desk, because I will get more work done in a neater space. While I’m at it, I might as well load and start the washing machine. I may truly desire to write, but as I am pulled to one task after another I lose the ability to concentrate on the work at hand. Any activity, even scrubbing the toilet, seems more compelling than sitting down to face the blank page.” — ― Kathleen Norris Tamara Hill MurphyOctober 21, 2016writing, kathleen norris, Wednesday words and photo, finding Tamara Facebook0 Twitter Pinterest0 0 Likes
