[Book Quote Tuesday] When All Else Fails, Sleep (sez Ursula LeGuin)

Myra here.

It is that time of the week again where we share a book quote that seemed particularly striking for us.

I love the spirit of this quote. There is much to be said about the process of incubation in creativity, which is essentially a period of seeming inactivity, yet something simmers underneath, biding its time. It is not giving up, just acknowledging the unprofitability of whining or despairing when things go wrong. Hence, sleep. While I own a copy of The Left Hand Of Darkness, I have yet to get to it. Hopefully, soon.
