Ann Patchett, again

Yes, I'm a fan of everything I've ever read by Ann Patchett.
Recently, on a very long plane ride, I reread something I'd downloaded eons ago. And it was so worth a second read.

Do you know this little e-book?

THE GETAWAY CAR: A PRACTICAL MEMOIR ABOUT WRITING AND LIFE

For today at least, this is one of my favorite quotes from the piece:
"The more we are willing to separate from distraction and step into the open arms of boredom, the more writing will get on the page."

You must own a Kindle or perhaps have a Kindle app on your tablet to read it. 
But it's only $2.99 as a Kindle Single.

Or you can see what others have said, and read their favorite quotes.
