The Writing Habit

.
Home Alone

“If you think of home as a place where you feel comfortable, where you can kick off your shoes and be yourself, then writing is my home. No matter where I am, if I have my laptop or my journal, I’m home. When I pick up the pen, I experience the most profound feeling of intimacy and acceptance and familiarity I know.”

—Sheryl St. Germain, poet and creative writing professor, 2009

Editor’s Note: Sometimes hard to hold and your hand gets tired, but I write with a dog, too.
