Ann Patchett on Writing

Today’s quote:

Writing is a job, a talent, but it’s also the place to go in your head. It is the imaginary friend you drink your tea with in the afternoon.” – Ann Patchett, Truth and Beauty

I hope you have a great day with your own imaginary friends. I’m off to hang with mine, with a cup of coffee rather than tea in hand.
