“… something as wondrous as writing.”

I read an article about Susan Orlean on Brain Pickings this morning and love this quote from her about writing:

You have to appreciate the spiritual component of having an opportunity to do something as wondrous as writing. You should be practical and smart and you should have a good agent and you should work really, really hard. But you should also be filled with awe and gratitude about this amazing way to be in the world.

I started following her on Twitter and her tweets make for a fun read too if you don’t have the time to read her articles or books.
