This is a wonderful piece of writiing that deserves many readers. There is much truth here, especially about. the myth/falsehood that " a writer must write every day". I have never written every day, Im 78, and I have written three short story collections,, four novels, and one poetry collection with another and another novel in process, not to mention essays on film and literature publish in various small press magazines and anthologies. If you are living in an area that does not have much literature, but if there are libraries you should be able to order from libraries. I you send me your email address, I can send you an extensive list of beautiful and compelling writers from all over the world, including such terrific writers as the novelists Arundhati Roy, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Pat Barker, Chinua Achebe, Bao Ninh, - fiction writers, and poets Mahmoud Darwish, Patricia Smith, Gwendoln Brooks, Nicholas Guillen, Sterling A. Brown, Langston Hughes, Thomas McGrath,Ann Sexton,
