“I’d been wanting to write something about the magical feeling of total solar eclipses and had felt blocked for a while until today, when I just wrote something that pleased me very much! I also worked on a song I’d started years ago, and wrote some short stories (that will be children’s books, once illustrated — and will go into a bigger book of stories, too) but mostly there is just a feeling of relaxation and possibility, the possibility arising from relaxation … taking away the stress that makes writing difficult!”
