Best 3 quotes of Louise Rich Dickinson on MyQuotes

I have found that unless I make myself some office hours and stick to them - 8.30 to 11 A.M. and 1 to 3 P.M.- I son't do any writing. I pick some wild flowers and arrange them, wash the dog, and make a cake, and then it's too late to start this morning. So I read another chapter of the book I started last night and go swimming. Morning is really the time your mind is clearest, I remember being told. There's no sense in trying to start writing in the afternoon. So I'll write to-morrow. I really will. But I wouldn't if I didn't have my office hours. If I can't think of anything to write about, I just sit in front of the typewriter and brood.

Spare time, as I used to understand it, was the time left over from doing the necessary, unpleasant things, like correcting Sophomore English themes or washing out silk stockings in the bathroom. It was the time i frittered away on useless, entertaining pursuits, like the movies or contract bridge. Now almost everything I do - except cooking- is fun, and it is also useful. There is no line of demarcation between work and play. It makes it hard to explain what I do with my spare time.
