Inspirational Quote # 631

I like this Mailer quote on so many levels. The process I’ve developed includes this preparation phase. I once wrote that I like walking before I write because it helps me with the intellectual shift of dealing with life to writing by incorporating a physical process. I liken it to stretching before working out, or warming up before a ball game. In the end, I think it helps my subconscious prepare me with the material, focus and energy to write.
