“My path as a writer became much more smooth when I learned, when things aren’t going well, to regard my struggles as curious, not tragic.”
— Elizabeth Gilbert, American novelist and non-fiction writer, in Light the Dark: Writers on Creativity, Inspiration, and the Artistic Process, ed by Joe Fassler (2017)
