Proverbs for Writers
If you could once make up your mind in the fear of
God never to undertake more work of any sort than
you can carry on calmly, quietly, without hurry or flurry,
and the instant you feel yourself growing nervous
and like one out of breath, would stop and take breath,
you would find this simple common-sense rule doing for you
what no prayers or tears could ever accomplish.
–Elizabeth Prentiss
Wow. That is truly beautiful. Amen.
That would mean that I wouldn’t undertake any extra work, ever! (Not that I am. Not doing it leads to general grumpiness. Not sure what the answer is.)
Amen, Michelle.
EG – well, I have no idea about how moms of young kids do it…seems like those years are insane!
