“For me, though, writing does not always mean making marks on paper. Sometimes my writing time is simply thinking time: daydreaming about a word or a line or a poem – lying on our couch, driving to a school, looking out the window at birds on a suet cake… I often find myself wondering what my pen will write and then looking forward to tinkering and cutting and beginning again.”
-Amy Ludwig VanDerwater
