“If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie,
draw, listen to ­music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at
the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words
will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient."
