Madeline L'Engle

Madeline L'Engle's quote on page 421 struck my interest. It says, "Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it." I took this as you can not be inspired by something that is not there. The first step is always beginning. After you have the ball rolling, it is easier to come up with fresh thoughts and ideas to continue. This has happened to me a lot. I won't have any ideas on what to write, so I just start writing an introduction and see where it leads me.
