Preston Yancey
Poorly. At least for several weeks. Then I start walking along the river near our apartment and listen to a lot of episodes of "On Being" and try a few new recipes and slowly the words come back. But for the first several weeks I just piddle on the Internet for hours and then claim it was productive. Sometimes it is, but I know the difference. It's usually just time that should have been spent along the water, listening, cooking. You have to do whatever your thing is, that thing that feeds the lake of your being so there's something to catch within it. Whatever that thing is, your thing, you have to keep doing that. Then the words will be there.
